Marina 1.8 gearbox needed

[Doublerat]

Hi

I have a Marlin Roadster with the 1.8 marina engine and gearbox. The engine is strong but the gearbox is very tired. Does anyone know where i can find a replacement? Or maybe where I can get mine reconditioned

Thanks for looking and any help will be appreciated

Be aware that the input shaft for a 1.8 is different from a 1.3, a different number of splines to engage in the clutch plate.

Thanks for the heads up Steve, I didn't know the input shafts were different and would probably have made an expensive mistake! Much appreciated

Hi, I've got a 1.8 Marina gearbox under a tarpaulian which I removed a couple of years ago when I fitted an MGB overdrive box. I haven't looked at it recently but I don't recall any problems driving when it was on the road. I'm in West Sussex.
