Moss Europe has announced new 5 speed gearbox conversion kits for the MGA and MGB.
The kits are based on a brand new Mazda MX-5 gearbox and give the MGA and MGB the slick gear changes that have become synonymous with the MX-5, together with a 5th gear for relaxed cruising.
The kits are supplied with a fully assembled gearbox with a bespoke cast bell housing and casing designed to fit directly to the MG’s engine back plate. The bell housing flange has been designed to resemble the standard gearbox thus preserving engine bay originality.
Each conversion kit uses the flywheel applicable to the engine, an appropriate clutch cover and a Mazda OE clutch plate. The installation on the MGA does require the removal of existing gearbox mounts and the enlarging of the gearbox tunnel aperture but for the MGB there is neither cutting nor permanent modifications required. Full instructions are included.
Kits include: • Brand new Mazda 5 Speed gearbox assembled into custom casing & bell housing • Concentric clutch slave cylinder assembled with pipework • Mazda OE clutch plate • Mazda OE gear knob • Custom gearbox mountings • Speedo drive & cable • Bespoke propshaft • all parts & hardware required for installation. The gearboxes are prefilled with SAE 75W-90 oil.
Kits are available for high and low starter MGAs, 3 bearing MGB 1962-65 and 5 bearing MGB 1965-68. All retail at £2,700.00. Kits are also available for cars with engine conversions.
