Gearbox 3 rib vrs 5 rib vrs 6

.

 

6 rib is the newer 091 gearbox fitted from model year 76 to 1.6l & 2.ol engines and T25's, reverse light switch on the side, up till then it was the 002 gearbox reverse light switch on the end.

 

My CE three-ribber has the reverse switch on the side

 

The only box I ever had with the switch on the end was 1968 3 rib.

 

Actually they might have changed on the crossovers

 

1700 type-4 + it's original 3-rib box is a great combo, but requires thrashing up the revs to where the power is. I loved mine. The stock exhaust system also seems more balanced with it than the bigger engines are but that's just impression, I have no proof.

 

Can anyone Id this gearbox for me? found it in my Dad's garage when clearing out - think it might be a T25? Could be a synchro? Cheers

 

Is there a gearbox code stamped on the side?

 

Yes I think synchro.

 

it's a syncro front diff,

It's for sale if you want to make me an offer - it's in South Devon near Totnes.

 

can you find out the serial number on it please amd can you do a picture of the other side too please

 

Here's the other one I have - possibly also a T25 synchro? Poor phots I know but it is up on a shelf and I can't get it down on my own!

 

Will do but probably not for a day or two - I live about an hour away.

 

Last item for Id'ing please....!

 

Its a front grille from a T25?

 

all i can say is that its a diesel bellhousing so probably a diesel box, would need to see a picture of the other end of it to see if it is a syncro box, but if its with that front diff then it is very possible

 

yes

 

Yeah, that may be of interest @Becks2804. I'll send you a pm and maybe we can have a chat
