      Welcome.
      You need to be rather more specific with your question.

      Many of the cars were kit built and each one is a bit of an individual. If you have an MGB overdrive box, yours is an individual as most 1.8's were Marina based, still a B series very similar to an MGB but with a mechanical fuel pump..... Marinas never had overdrive though Triumph Dolomite boxes can be fitted.

      My car as another example has lots of modifications the radiator, front brakes, cylinder head, gearbox and back axle are no longer as built.

      There is loads of info on the forum if you do a specific search, but its worth getting a copy of Tech Tips as they list many of the usual problems and resolutions.

        Hi steve, i have a marlin with an mbg 1.8 engine, Is your gearbox mgb? I dont think the gearbox on mine is mgb but am trying to find out what it is to change it to one with overdrive. Thanks Gary
