"I am driving a +8 1975 RHD model with Rover 4-speed gearbox. Unfortunately the gear setting plate for shifting/controlling the gears is dickey...so moving the gearshift is like stiring pastry:-)

Any idea where to get a repair package (tried to find out via the Web - no success). Many thanks in advance,
Oliver Bahner"

I'm not sure what "dickey" means in this contact, but the gent could try moving the top plate so that the selector fits the actual gear  pattern better - this may involve enlarging the holes holding the  gate in place to improve the alignment for 2nd gear, if that is the problem.

Oliver, Give Paul Trussler a call at Morgan Motor Company. Ltd. and he should be able to solve the 4 speed shifter situation for you. Should it not be available because of age of production. Then post a plea on E-Mog for someone that has a box stashed. Last but not lease you may have to approach Rover dealers for NOS, new old stock on a dusty parts bend. Could be easy or a long chase ahead of you.

Sincerely, John H. Sheally II

This is a common problem with this early Rover box for which there have been no Rover parts available for a long time ! I suggest you try RIMMERS in the UK..they are Triumph Stag & Rover Specialists and may have had some parts made ? Otherwise try Royce Power Transmissions tel: 0044 1279 421461

Best Wishes
