Mystery Gearbox

  1. Any ideas, @nobody ? Is this a mis-stamped CE, or a recon unit mebbe? Can't find a reference to a CF anywhere.

    This should in theory be a CE box, given what I'm told it came out of. Three-ribber.

  16. Here y'go. Revvy's the last thing I need. I want to go the other way: taller R&P.

    It's the "spare" box given to me when I bought my last engine. Can't think why it would be mountain spec.

    Apart from the R&P, are the ratios the same as a CE box?
