MED GEARBOX REBUILD KIT

If you have a '22G1832' gearbox, these had the earlier mainshaft, so the needle roller bearings are a different design, and also for the layshaft. We can still help with many parts for these, so please email us and we'll be able to offer more advice. There was some degree of overlap between gearbox designs by the factory in the 1970s.

Yes, the only exception being the idler gear bearings, as many of our customers choose to run a set of MED roller bearing drop gears, making these redundant. We can supply the standard idler gear bearings separately if required.

Yes, these are identical and can be swapped from one to the other. The only difference came with the Metro Turbo/ERA Mini Turbo, quite rare today, which had an oversize spigot bearing in the transfer gear housing. We do not keep these bearings.

Sorry, no, we do not keep any spares for the classic Mini automatic transmission.

Yes, either straight-cut or helical standard gears are the same in this respect. The exception being dog-engagement gear sets for competition cars, which do not run baulk rings or synchromesh hubs. If you're interested in installing an MED dog 'box, please email us and we can put together a list of the bearings, gaskets and other components required to complete the build.

Depending on which gear set you have, yes there may be one spare layshaft needle roller bearing. We do this to cater for all gear sets, as the Special Tuning 'race' Mini gear sets run an extra bearing on the layshaft.

Apologies, but we no longer offer a Mini gearbox rebuild service. However, if you search for 'How to rebuild a straight-cut Mini gearbox' on Youtube, we've put together a three-part series on how it's done. This guide applies to a standard gear set too, and should be very helpful for a DIY enthusiast. There's also step-by-step instructions featured in most versions of the Haynes workshop manual.
