I have a 1964 3 synchro transmission for 3 main bearing engine which I would
like to install in my 1966 mgb with a 5 main bearing engine. I have replaced
the first motion shaft with that for a 5 main engine. When I tighten down the
extension tower or the front plate (around the first motion shaft) the main
shaft begins to bind and can no longer be turned by hand. I have tried varying
the shims even removing them altogether as well as doubling the gaskets and
it still binds when the bolts are tightened. Can a 5 main shaft be put in a
three main transmission? If it can what modification are needed? If you have
any suggestions I would really appreciate them.
Thanks Graham
