Manual gearbox - primary, idler and 1st motion shaft drive gears

Primary (Output), Idler and 1st Motion Shaft Drive (Input) Gears
Several different combinations of primary gear and bushes were used on the earliest Mini power units built between 1959 and 1963, following the abject
failure of the first, the so-called 'D.U.' bush and oil seal design (which allowed engine oil seepage onto the clutch all too frequently). As an interim measure,
a revised oil-fed bush system was fitted - in most cases when the car came in for the inevitable clutch replacement - and after a couple of false starts the
'Deva' dry-lubricated bush became the standard fitment. Each system necessitated a different engine crankshaft and flywheel, as well as the primary
gear and bushes. Extra care must be taken to select matching components for these early designs.

From 1963 onwards, crankshaft, flywheel, primary gear and bush combinations settled down into two designs, depending on the crankshaft tail dimensions:
one combination for 848, 998 and 1098 engines and the other for 1071, 1275 and 970 engines. This continued right the way through to 1979 when 'A Plus'
gears were introduced, which saw production out through to 2000.

Primary gears are supplied with their bushes fitted, as ready-to-use assemblies. However, if you intend to fit replacement bushes in a primary gear, the
bushes must be machined after fitment to ensure alignment with each other.

By contrast, the idler and 1st motion shaft drive gears saw far fewer changes, being limited to 3 synchro gearbox (1959-68), pre-A Plus 4 synchro gearbox
(1968-79) and A Plus (1979 on). Of these, pre-A Plus 4 synchro gears may be used on 3 synchro gearboxes if certain other components are fitted at the
same time. However, pre-A Plus and A Plus gears cannot be mixed and matched together.

Bearings (and their retaining circlips) for the idler and drive gears may be found in the 'Flywheel Housing and Clutch Cover' and 'Manual Gearbox - External'
sections of this catalogue. Primary, idler and drive gears for automatic Minis may be found in the 'Automatic Transmission - Torque Converter and Housing'
section.
