Re: AP Auto transmission problem, advice please

Minis and Metros did not get "Park" until about 1989, and even then it was only on the 1275 Autos. I think that is about when the 998 Auto was phased out but I'm not sure. Mine was a 1990 and I only ever used 20W50 in it. The top-reverse clutch went after 20,000 miles in my Moke, and at least 33,000...

Re: What's this?

You want a car with a Kangaroo connection? How about a Mini K 1100. Sold here from 1968 to 1971.

Re: Bnicho's 1971 Morris Mini Moke.

World's fastest lawn cart? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v662/bnicho/mopoke/engine_kenzie_cart_zpsdd81bbe4.jpg It's been very handy for moving an engine from one shed to another! With my helper I dropped the engine into the Moke. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v662/bnicho/mopoke/engine_going_...

Re: Bnicho's 1971 Morris Mini Moke.

Quite bit of progress has happened on the old Moke in the last couple of months. First I rebuilt the gearbox. Every bearing, the baulk rings, synchro hub balls and springs and the first-second gear selector fork were replaced. I also fitted a centre oil pickup and a four pin diff as big wheel Mokes ...

Re: Today I have been ?????????????? to my classic

This weekend I have been rebuilding my Moke's 1275 engine with my son.
