This one that may upset the purists, so my appologies in advance, I am a colonial after all so you may not be surprised!
My understanding is that the Stag manual gearbox is similar to the TR6 ie same case, "beefed up" internals and different input shaft length is this so?
If so, it is reasonably common here in OZ to swap the manual TR6 box for a Toyota 5 speed,(there is a conversion kit available in OZ and in New Zealand to achieve this) I am assuming if the Stag's standard OD box is similar to a TR6 then this could work?
Why the purists may ask, well my BW65 auto is pretty stuffed, and not cheap to fix compared to what you pay in blighty. Also manual Stags were very rare in OZ so getting one is going to be tough plus the expense and cost of reconditioning it, not to mention I know nothing about overdrive boxes!
Again assuming the similarity to the TR6 box I'll only have to alter the prop shaft length and fit a manual Stag's pedal box and a few other sundry items.
And what of the ZF auto box conversion that I've read about on the forum, would be nice, but again not easy to source a ZF in OZ and the conversion kit is very expensive when considering currency conversions and freight.
Anybody ever heard of something like this being done?
