Stuart,
I am in need. But getting to Seattle is somewhat of a problem (granted
the 900 or so mile drive is tempting just to do it). My OD transmission
died in my 72B so I am still in need of a temporary replacement until I
can get it fixed. It had less than 2000 miles on it from a local
rebuilder so I'm hesitant to have it redone locally again. I'm inclined
to take it to University Motors for their transmission rebuilding
seminar next February, and just use a temp replacement transmission in
my car until then.
Would you consider shipping one by bus to Billings, Montana? I think it
will cost about $75. Unless I can find a lister eastbound on I-90. As
soon as the snow melts (about 5" on the ground right now), I'll be
thinking convertible season again.

Hi folks,
I've been off list for quite awhile, but we're still driving our '65 MGB
daily. My daughter has one too ('72 GT), and my son and I are working on
restoring a '64 roadster, so I'll tune in again since I'll be up to my
eyeballs in MGB restoration and maintenance again this summer. Someday
I'll
do the second restoration on our '65!
I've got three full-syncro transmissions I'm going to take to the
recycler
soon unless someone can use them. All were working fine when removed.
The
input shafts are a little rusted, but that can be cleaned up with a wire
brush. They are all '68-'74 vintage.
They are in Seattle, u-haul.
