That tranmission is for a '75 to '79 Midget with the Spitfire 1500 engine and 
tranny.  No good for a '61 Midget. 
Save yourself a whole lot of grief.  Spend the extra money and buy a good 
tranny from a well known source or a list member.  The place that is selling 
that Midget tranny has been trying to peddle that box for months.  Their 
reserve is rediculous.  
Quantum Mechanics in CT is a good known source for rebuilt trannies.  No 
financial interest here, just a happy customer.  
Some of the listers may have spare ribbed case trannies that they'd be willing 
to let go for a song to a fellow lister.
Good luck.

A)  An MGB Steering Wheel.  3 Stainless steel spokes, wooden wheel...
looks similar to the Mahogany wheel from Moss.  Designed for a 62-67 MGB,
would this fit a '61 Midget?
B)  A Midget transmisson.  Serial #: FT49944.  Any idea what year this
might be?  Would it work with my '61 Midget?  Where can I find the serial
number on my tranny for compairison?  
I think that's all for now, thanks in advance.
