Easily Add Power with Tunit Tuning
Tunit provides an efficient and adaptable method of enhancing a vehicles performance (power and torque) without the need to alter the vehicles original equipment or programming. The advantages of the Tunit are; adjustment for optimum efficiency (both manually, by the customer and electronically, via a PC by a distributor), flexibility, as in movement from one vehicle to the next and ease of installation. The principle of Tunit is to provide all these advantages that previous methods of tuning such as EPROM replacement and "flashing" or OBD tuning could not.

check with Jim Fletcher at PPD in Gilberts(near Elgin). He has a lot of Mini experience building road and race engines and gearboxes and could do a Morris box in his sleep. Jim is at (847) 836-9852. Sharp guy, easy to deal with. His shop is pretty impressive also. Please email me if you have any questions.

Don't know of anyone in your area, but I would contact Paul Asgeirsson of Morriservice (Portland Oregon). pasgeirsson@worldnet.att.net. He was one of the people that orginally developed the 4 speed and 5 speed Datsun transmission swaps. He also sells the kits to complete the same with very detailed installation instructions, and lots of other upgrades for the Morris Minor that he developed (clutch operating mechanism, Spridget front disc brake upgrade, etc.).

He can also rebuild your ribcase or smoothcase tranny, but parts are getting hard to come by, especially for the smoothcase. If you're going to that expense of a rebuild ( I would only do it if I had the parts already or for a concours restoration) you might as well do the upgrade, but Datsun 210 trannys are getting thin on the ground now as cars have been crushed and people are actively scouring the countryside for the remaining ones to use for Spridget and Minor five speed upgrades - your best bet may be to find a four speed Datsun transmission. There is absolutely no truth to the rumor that Datsun 210's are being "body snatched" in the middle of the night for their transmissions...

If Paul doesn't know it about Minors its not worth knowing.

Can anyone recommend a mechanic or shop in the Chicago area to repair a 1958 Morris transmission? I have detailed Morris technical manual and Morris Motors in the U.K. has the parts. I would prefer to drive the vehicle to the shop for the work, but if necessary could pull the transmission to ship it out of state.

Alternatively, I have read about some folks around the world (U.K. and Australia) substituting a Datsun 210 transmission. Has anyone had experience with this or know of someone who has done this who could provide details?

Thank you for your help.
