Amp up your driving experience with the MGA 5-Speed Conversion kit! Built on the superb, tried and tested Mazda MX-5 gearbox, this conversion kit for your MGA offers a slick gear change and a relaxed cruising 5th gear. Comprising the highest quality parts, each kit comes with a fully assembled gearbox with a bespoke cast bell housing and casing built to fit directly to the MGA's engine back plate. The bell housing flange has been designed to resemble the standard gearbox, preserving engine bay originality. The conversion kit uses the flywheel applicable to the engine, appropriate clutch cover and Mazda OE clutch plate.

Installation is fairly simple but requires the removal of existing gearbox mounts and the enlarging of the gearbox tunnel aperture. Please see instructions for details of modifications.
