M Type gearbox problem
Posted: Wed Oct 23, 2013 3:25 pm
I have an English friend in California who runs a restoration workshop for our sort of cars. This morning, he sent me this:
"I have a friend who has a 1930 MG M-type. His problem is that it changes gear OK when the gearbox oil is cold but as soon as he has driven a few miles, it becomes impossible to change. The gears will not engage, despite double-declutching, etc. Have you have ever encountered the problem or heard of a cause (and fix) for it?"
Any ideas guys?
