Yellar Dawg's Tranny

[Nelson Yaple <Nelson_Yaple@ccm.hf.intel.com>]

          Well, I got the Engine and Tranny out of the Yellar Dawg
          (a.k.a. Lotus Elite) this weekend.  It really wasn't to
          difficult, about a two hour job all totaled.  I popped the
          top lid off the tranny to discover a second gear with a
          missing tooth.  It also made a mess of the laygear 2nd.  
          Sooo, I'll at least have to replace 2nd and the laygear.
          Now the question of the day is I have read and been told
          that this tranny is a BMW from the 2002 tii touring and it
          also uses Austin Maxi gears.  Does anyone know if this is
          true, and maybe some alternate choices (besides the Lotus
          folks) where I could get these parts?  Are the BMW tii's
          common?  How about Austin Maxi's?


          Thanks
