I don't think so. The only original Midget gearbox with synchro first is
the Spitfire gearbox hooked to the Spitfire 1500 in the Spitfidget cars.
This gearbox is not compatible with the 948, 1100 and 1275cc engines as far
as I know.
If there is some outfit custom-making synchro-first gearboxes for Spridgets,
I am not aware of it and am open to education. There are outfits offering
setups for Datsun 5-speeds, I think.
