Hi Tim,

I don't know for the Midget, but most British transmissions have a plug on the
side of the gearbox about 2/3 of the way up.

I like hearing British questions (I have a TR6 and a BSA), but you might want
to think about joining a newsgroup for your car (I subscribe to the Triumphs
list).

I'm attaching info about some relevant newsgroups and how you subscribe --
there are groups for British cars in general and forMG, Spridgets, etc.  I do
like hearing about your Midget, though.
