Just keeping thinking about the 175 miles. I'm happy now if I can get to 
town and back! Hopefully my "on the road" time will overtake my "in the 
garage" time and so will yours.

If you were state-side I'd recommend Atlanta Imported Auto Parts. They 
specialize in repair and restoration of British curiosities like ours and 
the guru there assembled a used/rebuilt gearbox before my very eyes. He 
used no books or manuals and my tranny is smooth as silk for $175. 

Otherwise all I can offer is good luck!
