Please note that due to the hand built nature of these vehicles, there may be some small modifications required to the chassis on a small percentage of installations. We do endeavour on most of our kits to ensure no modification is required, but due to the number of changes made to the Plus 8 over its long production life, some interference may occur. This must be assessed on a case by case basis and we will work with each customer before and after the sale to ensure the installation goes as smoothly as possible.
The Vitesse Gearbox Conversion Kit uses the proven Mazda MX-5 Mk3 5 Speed Transmission, as fitted by Morgan to their current Classic vehicle line.

Can I fit the kit myself?
The short answer is yes. If you are a confident mechanic, capable of removing and installing a standard Morgan gearbox you will have no trouble in fitting one of our kits, as everything has been specifically designed to match your Morgan - no bodges here!
If, however, your mechanical skill stops short of gearbox installation, we’ve got you covered. We offer an in-house fitting service at our HQ in Leicestershire, UK, where the team that designed and build our Morgan replacement gearboxes, will fit your box for you.
If Leicester seems like a bit of a stretch of a journey, we can ship your gearbox directly to a mechanic of your choosing and deal directly with them, should they have any questions regarding best practice during the install.
Unsure if you could fit our Morgan gearbox yourself? Take a look at our installation instructions.
Want to lighten the load?
The all-alloy case on our Morgan replacement gearboxes means significant weight savings can be achieved with this kit- up to 23kg compared to the R380!
