MG TD TF 1500 - TF Gearbox

Firstly, as a newcomer, thanks to everyone who contributes so willingly here. Just became owner of a 54 mgtf 1250. Brilliant, but feels like it could easily handle a higher gear on the highway. Is there a conversion available for 5 speed or OD?

Check the archives and a few posts down below... a common question and yes, rear end gear changes are common....helps in the 'flatlands'!!!

I am keeping a list of Australian TF's and have some history on many of our cars. You may like to contact me to see if I have anything on your car.

Cheers,
Matthew.

Check Gordon's post in :
"Thread: Crown/pinion - how to determine."
He did a very good job of summing up what has been disscused in the archives over the years!
Of course ...there is some good reading in the archives as well..many things to consider!
IMHO, I am very happy with 4:33:1 gears and running P205 70R 15 Radials on 60 spoke "wider" wheels and Stage IV tuned 1500 engine.

Purest will tell you these are "huge" tyres for this car...but Izzy handles nicely.

It all comes down to what you want to do with the car! My inclanation was to go with the above for driving and keep the 48 spoke & bias-plys for "shows" ..(they have been in the rafters of my garage for about 5 years and back on the car once since!) It is like having 2 cars..differance is nite & day!

Hi Matthew,

I am the owner of an MG TF that was originally purchased in Australia and then found its way to Canada. I purchased it in Canada and am the third owner since new. I am currently doing a full frame off restoration.

I would be interested in any info you may have , or anything you may want to know about mine.

Feel free to send me an email directly.

Thanks,

Reg
