The 1st/2nd gear change forks used in classic Minis are prone to wear. The factory shift forks were made of a brass type material and were quite soft as they were designed to wear before the gear; this means that they MUST be replaced often if the box is to continue to shift like new!
Fortunately, MiniSpares have just released two newly re-tooled selector fork options. Both have been manufactured in the UK using the lost wax casting process to produce the parts in an aluminium bronze alloy. The result is a marked improvement on the original brass type version.
The first gear fork is for the 4 synchro pre-rod- change gearbox only.
Order as part number 22G889MS at £102.60 inc VAT.
The second type is for the early 3 synchro gearbox.
Order as part number 22A611 also at £102.60 inc VAT.
