I got a dumb question.

I very nearly asked WTF is a torque convertor doing on a manual... Anyway, now I know that was a misprint what I wanted to say was why was the tranny removed in the first place? Have you any background on the car & if whatever fault it had (people don't usually strip a car for fun) was repaired?

Or are you short of background so just going the route of putting back togather to find out what needs doing? Just wondering because if I was given/inherited a car with an autobox out of it, I'd be sorely tempted to buy a manual box, clutch & pedalbox & convert the beastie...

Either way, best of luck & hope it all works when you get it on the floor again.

Everything crossed!

P.S. Oh I do love the shape of the MA61, I've barely got the 70 project off the ground & I know what the next one wants to be!!!
