Q & A: Rebuilding Transmission

Dear JohnTwist,
I feel like a kid asking the master a stupid Question but does your book
contain a section that would show me and help me through a rebuild
of my transmission, or can you refer me to a good book. I was going to
have someone rebuild it but a friend who used to have a Mga like mine and
is
a mechanic said he would help me. Although I am not a mechanic
I feel the need to know how it works. I bought my 1962 Mga Mark II in
September
and with little spare time I have and since I am mainly a carpenter I am
slowly
bringing Lorelea from a good runner to a great car. I have already
rebuilt
the
carbs cleaned up a lot of the wiring tuned the car, rebuilt top , car
doors , new latches
new rails and many little things. I don't care if the car is a show car
cause I
love to drive it. It does need a paint job and new seats. Although I am
so
broke
and I now have two jobs I love my car more than anything. I am 31 now
and
have
the car of my dreams since I was a little kid. I have always been exposed
to Mgs
My dad has a 53TD which he had since the 50s. His car took him through
nine
years of school a wife and three kids and this was year round in
Wisconsin.
Well anyway love your site and would love to take a class one day.
Please inform me of anything that might help.

Thanks Kindly
Marek Stralkowski MAREK!
