The Rover PG1 gearbox, commonly known as the "Roverbox", is a four-speed manual transmission that was widely used in various Rover vehicles throughout the 1960s and 1970s. It was a robust and reliable gearbox, renowned for its smooth shifting and durability. Designed for use in both petrol and diesel engines, the PG1 gearbox was initially paired with Rover's 1.1-litre and 1.3-litre engines, but its application expanded to include larger units like the 1.6-litre and 2.0-litre petrol engines, as well as the 2.0-litre diesel engine. The PG1's popularity stemmed from its inherent simplicity and ease of maintenance. It featured a robust design with heavy-duty components, allowing it to handle the demands of various driving conditions. Additionally, its straightforward construction made it relatively straightforward to repair and maintain, contributing to its long lifespan.

The PG1 gearbox was a defining feature of many iconic Rover models, including the 1100, 1300, 2000, and the P6, which enjoyed considerable success in both the UK and international markets. Its widespread adoption made it a recognizable part of the Rover heritage. However, despite its widespread appeal and success, the Rover PG1 gearbox eventually gave way to newer and more advanced transmissions as the automotive industry progressed. The introduction of five-speed gearboxes with overdrive capabilities offered improved fuel economy and performance, leading to the eventual phasing out of the PG1. Nonetheless, the Rover PG1 gearbox remains a significant part of Rover's legacy, showcasing the brand's commitment to building durable and reliable drivetrain components. The PG1's contribution to the success of numerous Rover models cemented its place in automotive history.
