The Morris Minor 1100 which was the same basic car as the Austin America
had a transverse mounted engine with the transmission incorporated in
the engine oil pan as an integral unit. The transmission was lubricated
with the engine oil.

The MM1100 I had was a '63 and this was 20 years ago. I have no idea of
the availability of parts.
