MG MGA - transmission rebuild kit

What are your preferred sources of transmission parts for a rebuild? I've searched for rebuild kits, only to find a website out of the UK (AutoGear?) that offers rebuild kits, but there are no blocking rings in the kit.

I have a 1600 transmission that I want to rebuild. There's got to be an easier way than making a piece/part shopping list and ordering individual parts, right?

Not really. Its not possible to evaluate what you need until its stripped. And you don't want to buy everything that moves! Try Quantumechanics (phone not email).

True...You don't want to buy everything that moves...

I just did the same job, though, on the T-5 that is in my Jeep CJ. I could easily get a rebuild kit that had the seals, bearings, bushings, blocking rings, snap rings, etc. from one kit P/N. All of these will get replaced on the MGA too, I imagine (or their equivalent pieces).

I'll make my inventory list this week from researching rebuild links and exploring the tranny in the workshop.

Cheers,

Rick
