6 OF THE BEST We have now developed a 6-speed gearbox and sequential gearchange for the 5/6 speed gearbox. (Sequential is like a motor bike change, all in line and not "H" shape like the MinL) They will only be made in small batches when required as demand will be very slow. The original "A" plus design of gears were first drawn up in the 1940's and not put into production until 1980. Although quiet compared to the previous gears of the four synchro gearbox they are much weaker by virtue of the thinner gear pitch. On the Mini Spares project car we have the old type gears with'S' ratios converted into a 5-speed and it has proved indestructible by everybody who has thoroughly tested the car with its 8-port engine power. As the ratios were not very desirable for tuned motors, we are contemplating producing a whole new helical cut set of nearly indestructible gears which will be quiet for road use.
