The Rover 200/400 gearbox is not exactly the same as the Midland box fitted in the Mini. The gear selector is different, the inboard differential oil seal diameter is different and the clutch housing probably (although I haven't compared the 2 side by side) is different to suit the engine. There may be other differences as well. As for one being better than the other, essentially they are the same design and they are made in the same factory. Why the versions fitted to Rover models seem to be trouble free is a mystery.
