Has anyone ever fitted/adapted a fully synchronized Jaguar MK2 gearbox to replace the Moss gearbox?

Hi.
Think I have read on this forum that someone have done that. But you need another clutch bell housing to fit the all synchro box. A bell housing from a limosine will fit if opening the starter mounting holes. Guess yours is a 3.8 and I think the bellhousing from a 4.2 will fit. All this have to be verified, as I have not. But I do have a bellhousing fron a mk10 4.2 on the shelf. Which I have no use of.

Harald.

As far as im aware the Mk2 has a long tail section so won't fit in a fhc or ots.....most Mk2s had the long overdrive box.....the non o/d gearbox has a long tail section.....Steve
