A major inconvenience when trying to enjoy a Sprite and Midget as a daily driver is the non-synchro first gear transmission. Unless you truly come to a complete stop you will find that first gear has a very short life! The Rivergate Kit includes an aluminum adapter plate, mount assembly, modified drive shaft yoke, clutch disc, special pilot bush, hardware, and illustrated instructions. You supply the Datsun transmission and small parts including slave cylinder and throw-out bearing. No cutting of the car is required: the competent home mechanic should have no trouble completing the installation. Complete instructions are available FREE by calling our tech support line or by downloading them from our website.

Question:
I'm looking for Datsun gearbox conversion for my Morris Minor. Do you have any kit to offer?
Answer:
Yes, we offer the Rivergate kit: https://www.minimania.com/part/C-12345R/5-Speed-Conversion-Kit-With-Crank-Seal-On-Backplate--Sprite--Midget

You would have to supply the gearbox yourself. Also, for a Morris Minor you'll need to convert to a hydraulic clutch.
