Hi all,
I've just picked up a new project - a 1959 s2 that has been stood since 1983.
It has a BMC 2.2 Diesel engine fitted, which is siezed to buggery. The gearbox is also siezed. I can wiggle the gear lever around in neutral. I managed to get 2nd yesterday, but in can't select 1st 3rd or 4th. Reverse is no problem. Are there any tricks to freeing off an old box?
Page bellhousing looks to be full of muck and leaves so I'll have to split the engine/box first but just wondering if there was anything I could do to free off the selectors?
Thanks all
