Hey Joe,

My Haynes Midget books says:
1500cc Midgets
Gear Ratios:
Top:     1:1
Third:   1.433:1
Second:  2.119:1
First:   3.4118:1
Reverse: 3.7529:1

Hope this helps, need any more info from the book, let me know.
However, looking at the picture, I don't think a Midget Tranny swap would be
very easy.  Looks a LOT different (shifter in tailpiece, etc....)  I can
email you a scan of the exploded view if you want.

Does anybody know of a source that gives details on the gearing of the
Midget 1500 Transmission.

I am looking for an inexpensive source for a transmission that has a
closer ratio gear set than those of the Spitfire transmissions.  This is
for my race car project.

Regards,
Joe
