I do not think the sump was painted. The trans. was red and the bell-housing
was not painted. The red color was Citron vermillon and MOSS spray paint
matches that color. I have rebuilt an original TC, a YA, YT, Tue, Jan 11, 2000
and a TF and all of them were the above colors. The paint colors were
documented a number of times by owners who bought the MGs new.
