Although the 1300GT ‘box and remote weren’t the original fitment to a Mini, they work fine other than needing some inventiveness for the rear mount on the remote.
Your problem is elsewhere and your mechanic is sending you up a blind alley.

Yes you have a ADO gearbox and a mini remote.
Best solution may be to add the rubber sandwich plate and get an ADO remote change.
As stated, think about an additional engine steady - but in reality, you are no worse off than you would be with a rod change type stability wise.

If the remote bolts through the sandwich plate into the remote then you have the correct remote for that diff casing. The one your mechanic mentioned is the Cooper(s)/Mk3 type which uses a different diff casing.hello everyone! i purchase a engine from an Swedish inport 1970 austin 1300gt to install on my 1980 998 Austin mini. so the remote gear case was missing from the engine. i bought one with sandwich plate but when i shift to first gear the gear is wobbly but only on first gear. my mechanic told me that i have the wrong remote gear on it. so he said that 22a250 remote gear is the right one, but I've been looking online and the screw holes are from the bottom into the case, while the other one is bolted through the sandwich plate. does anyone come across with this problem? also when i release the clutch slowly i feel a small vibration. i don't know if is anything to do with it. many thanks
Have a look at the knuckles on the external part of the gear linkage (on top of the diff case)for misadjustement or excessive wear.

hi mate. the second pic is the one that my mechanic told me to buy. the one i have in is the one with sandwich plate. many thanks
but that aint right for your box and i dont think your box has enough material to drill and tap.
just use the correct parts together. then make sure the linkage on-top of the diff housing is assembled correctly and tight also check that you have all the parts in the gearstick area. it should all work fine but as said before an extra engine stabiliser or 2 would not be a bad idea.

hi mate. i already checked all the linkage but i don't see anything wrong with it. looks like is coming from inside of the gear box. i will have to open to see if anything wrong. the engine has already 3 engine stabiliser 2 on the bottom and one on the top. many thanks for your help

I've been looking around and all linkage is fine. i shift into first and move the gear knob around and the linkage moves as well. so im suspecting the problem is from inside. there is a little play were the linkage enters the gearbox but i don't see any bushes to replace. many thanks
