Gear linkage parts needed

[Tom Millward]

Thanks for the info on the seal, I will take a look at the threads. It is the transmission extension that I’m referring to. I haven’t refitted the leather seal yet, and driving the carrier about a bit caused a fair bit of oil to leak out. So before I refitted the engine covers I wanted to check if there was a seal on the gearbox output shaft or the axle input shaft which should be replaced. I think I will seal up the extension with some self amalgamating rubber tape and put the leather seal back on.

Re the gear selector tube, I have both the male ends (gear shift lever and gearbox ends), I just need the tube in between. I have a tube of sorts but not sure it’s the right length, and it is not cross drilled on the gear lever end. Hence I keep getting issues with the gear lever coming out of alignment. An accurate drawing would enable me to make a new tube, but an original would be better if anyone has one.

Tom, Basically you need to reverse engineer it unless you have a good sample. Get your self a suitable bit of morris minor exhaust pipe, 763mm long.
The two outer holes should be about 732mm centers and are approximately on the same plane. This might test you a bit, plotting the other holes.
If you can borrow one, do so and make a jig to fit it, so that you can copy it. If not, you might put gear box and lever in a gear and with two bits of pipe and a bit that fits inside so that you can tack weld and check it for length and angle and use it for a jig when you have it sorted.
I hope that helps.
