Didn't think the cone synchro as much good in a mini at any mileage. Might have been OK in an A35, but drivers tended to be a bit more enthusiastic in a mini.

Well I reckon you are going to get lots of practice and learn real quick!

If my Mum can learn to do it so can you.

A couple of years ago I picked up a baulk ring conversion kit from ebay. I'm shortly going to be attempting to fit it to my recently acquired gearbox. Hopefully I can source the bearings and other parts that are needed.
