I was so careful too, soaked it well beforehand- must have had too much weetabix!

Thanks JP!

Thanks, will see about getting the casing off and deal with the plug on the bench! Much better for my back!! Cheers Buster

Hi guys and gals, Despite soaking the diff’s filler plug in oil for some time before attempting removal the top has sheared off cleanly (still sealing the diff - felt like it was undoing nicely - doh). Ordinarily I’d drill out etc but with the restricted access can’t get in there. I haven’t...

Hi folks, I have trawled the forum and found some info, but have a question. My Jan ‘74 parts catalogue lists diff mounts/extension mount for my Nov ‘74 2200TC as part 620089 not the usual 553975. I see on the MGBD website that it lists 553975 as an acceptable replacement to 620089 as latter not...

I’ve left a message this afternoon and will give them a ring on Monday.

Was but posted!

Well, having had a look this morning I have had to temporarily admit defeat in terms of doing this myself . I’m still on the mend from a big op and just dont have the strength or dexterity to manipulate the box without causing damage to myself or the car! I could do the other actions required...

Hi folks, grateful if anyone knows of a P6 friendly garage on/near Merseyside that they could point me in the right direction? Need gearbox out/in to fix a simple leak. Trying to find something closer than those in Derby/Chesterfield that I‘m already aware of. Frustratingly I know exactly...

I wish you were still available!!

Righty ho!

I mean with the box out!

Oh, so a complete gearbox strip? Might just tighten the bolts and see if it still leaks.......

Undo the 6 casing bolts around the clutch withdrawal housing inside the bellhousing as well I thought? Just wanting to seperate bell housing from box the replace the gasket.........

Roger wilco! Best wishes Nige

Gasket and seal set en-route, let battle commence!

Small win but I’ll take it! Any other top tips for a 2200 tc? I’ve read the gearbox removal thread....... Best wishes Nige

Hi Harvey, I now know the issue; all four gearbox to bellhousing bolts are loose and spinning so the gasket is hardly being compresed letting the fluid through. Bad news is with the nuts inside the bellhousing the box will have to come out. If I were to drop/lower the box would I be able to...

Hi Harvey, will do! leak is on the passenger side; no leak on the other side at all. Will let you know after a clean and run.Thanks for your help. Best wishes Nige

Thanks Harvey, I guess most inaccessible with the box in situ? Best wishes Nige

Hi folks, have a leak running down the joint between front face of gearbox and rear of belhousing on left hand side. Any ideas? Selectors maybe? Best wishes Nige

Thanks Harvey! Wasn’t anywhere near where I was looking........!

Can it be accessed with the gearbox in situ?

Thanks Harvey, I’ll have a closer look! best wishes Nige

Help! Where on the gearbox is the breather located! best wishes Nige
