Austin Mini Engines and Transmissions

Every Austin Mini engine here is a transverse gasoline four-cylinder driving the front wheels through a manual gearbox, a layout that keeps the mechanical package short. Examples range from the modest 0.9 MT, happiest around town, to the livelier 1.3 MT, which copes far better with open-road speeds.
