putting auto box from rover 75v8 into mgzt 260

[Herman]

Thanks so far folks. Have no driven auto box and is too lethargic for me I think. The manual i drove felt a little stodgy on throttle response off pedal but OK at throttle body. Not sure why.

Problem is the throttle cable...

Suspension a bit slow almost overdamped. Steering heavier than i remember on the 245s. Would standing for a long time cuase any of this sluggishness? or are there other common glitches that may explain them?

Suspension is not over-damped but stiff Combined with the weight of the car..................
Steering is heavy..........................

Hey..............it's a 260

Thanks Herman. It just seemed a little ponderous compared to my memory of my 260 6 years ago which I sold with 40k on it. The one I drove has less than 5k and been garaged for a while.
