Hi all,
My mini K has a 1275 fitted at the moment, and im looking around to find parts etc for the rebuild, and I'm looking at the gearbox too...
Now because i am a bit new to this, how do I tell what type of gearbox i have? Remote? etc?
It is a 4 speed, with reverse over on the left and down... Is it the standard miniK box, or the box that came with the 1275?
Many thanks

If you just knock it across hard, it's a remote shift. :wink:

And it goes "clunk" when you knock it across. A well trained ear can hear the difference between a rod change and a remote change from outside the car!

Have a look under the car and if there's a big kind of long 'box' casing thing going from where the gearbox is to the below where the gear lever is, it's remote. If there's a small 'box' below where the gear lever is and rods coming out of it to the gearbox, its a rod box In this pic you can just see the little box from my rod change i was talking about behind the block. You'll know if it is or isn't this when you have a look under Sorry for the explanations, hope you get the idea!

And heres the long 'box' thing I was talking about. The end on the left goes to the gearbox and the right to the stick

If you have to lift the lever to get reverse, it's a rodchange. If you just knock it across hard, it's a remote shift.

get a look at the casting number on the front of the gearbox, near & behind the oil filter area & then post it here to confirm exactly what box it is
