[ROVERNET - UK] P6 transmission

[Dirk Burrowes]

Hi Alan,

I would NOT try to put a TR7 transmission in your Rover. I like the 4 speed
and I think that it would change the car to much. I was on EBay a few weeks
ago and a guy in Canada says he has a completely rebuilt 4 speed for a P6
and it did not sell even with a buy it now price of $159. The listing number
is 7985203168. I would buy it and be done with it and enjoy your car.
If that is a bust I think I have an extra one I can dig up for you.

Good luck!
Dirk

Hello Rovernetters

news from the BBC this AM says a deal was reached with Nanjing? the #2  
carmaker in China has bought assets of MG Rover (but not the Rover 75) for
  undisclosed sum, and may provide jobs for about 2000 at Longbridge. More  
details at bbcnews.co.uk

Can anyone tell me if the TR7 5-speed would fit easily and work well in 
a P6?

The original four speed box is getting noisier and am thinking that 
rather than (another) re-build, I put in a 5-speed.

What is considered to be the best fit and match?

I have that, a  US Rover 3500S, with an SD1 5 Speed installed. They used a 
2000 TC pedal box, and used the 2000TC Brake master, I suppose because the 
space was getting pretty tight in that area. The shifter comes out in the 
same place. I would suggest fitting dual exhausts, as on my car the stock 
exhaust is close to the clutch slave. a shop in West Florida did a white one

about 10 years ago. They charged $5,000, and I think the owner supplied the 
parts.It is a lot of labor. If you have an SD1 5speed  and 2000TC Donor 
cars, and a lot of time to do your own work, it should be a rewarding proje,

and of course, much cheaper.. If you pay a shop to do everything, it might 
be cheaper to buy my car. In any case I can supply photos, if you decide to 
do your car. Contact me offline jaguru at bellsouth.net James Dean
