Understanding the MGB Gearbox Transmission Crossmember Removal, Refitting and Modifications

Understanding the MGB Gearbox Transmission Crossmember Removal and Modifications
A video showing how to remove the gearbox crossmember from the MGB, change the rubber bushes and also some modifications that may make refitting easier. All of the work could easily be carried out at home, please make absolutely certain that you car is secure before working underneath it. A set of axle stands should give you enough room, never work underneath a car that's only supported by a jack. I have added some bookmarks below so you can skip to the section you want.
