Doing some fault finding on mum's 3 Litre and think I have it sussed but. And it's a big but. The Detent springs that hold the selector rods in position are very soft and very short according to my workshop manual. The later MGB gearbox uses a lot of bits in common with the 3 Litre. So what I need to know is. Are the detent springs for the MGB box the same as the 3 Litre? A lot easier finding MGB parts than 3 Litre ones. Spec sheet says, free length 1.06" (30.2mm). loaded length 0.75" (19mm) and 18 to 20 lb (8.2 to 9.2kg). Can someone have a look at their MGB workshop manual and confirm or burst my bubble? Ether way it's a step forward. Cheers guys and Happy New Year. Suppose I should say how to tell an "early" from a "late" gearbox. Late has rectangle inspection plate on the left side with 10 bolts and a cluster of 3 bolts on the top left where the bell blends into the body of the box.
