MG TD TF 1500 - gear box repair

We've discovered that my car would drive much more quietly if 1st gear and the cluster gear were replaced. 1st gear I can find. Any one have any ideas or leads on a cluster gear(used) as opposed to the Moss Abingdon sets that cost dearly.?

What kind of noise does it make? The straight cut first/reverse are always noisy to some degree.

I michel,

E-mail me at markrstrang@yahoo dot com. I've got a good used cluster gear and perhaps we could come together on a reasonable price.

John Needham of Gearspec City in Melbourne Ph 0061305533203 can repair the cluster & supply & new 1st gear. Much cheaper & better than new.

Any idea as to what it costs to repair first gear only on a TD cluster gear. Would it be reasonable enopught to send one from USA?

Check with John Esposito at Quantum Mechanics first. He may be able to help you.

Might be worth contacting John Twist, as well. I took his gearbox rebuild seminar some years ago. Came home with a rebuilt TD 'box and a great experience. I don't know if he is doing this in his new incarnation, though.
