'78 244 5 speed gearbox
Dear all,
After covering many times the distance between London and Rome and back with my 4 speed 1978 I (and my bum) want to try the hedonistic feel of a 5 speed gearbox. I think an early M47 with mechanical speedometer should fit. If any of you had anything suitable please do PM ME. Couldn't do the job myself, I have been quoted 160 quid by the local garage. How does that sound. Best, leonardo |

also you might like to try the M46 overdrive gearbox .. It is satisfying flicking the O/D in and out with a switch or lever switch rather than doing a gearchange ...

many thanks clan. yes, I'd love to get the M46 as I'm told it is even more reliable. but wouldn't it need some tweaking? and would it fit the mechanical speedo?
