heraldcoupe Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Has anyone ever seen a 3-rail gearbox with the prefix CD? It's just come out of an extremely rusty 13/60 Estate, it's coupled to an FD prefixed Mk3 Spitfire engine, so it really could have come from anywhere. As a clue, the gearbox has the thick flange with 5/16" bolts, and the engine had spacers at the mounts to move it forward slightly, presumably so it would fit with the original propshaft.So any guesses? This prefix doesn't show up in any listings I've seen,Cheers,Bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted User Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 CD is the prefix for TR5 and TR6 gearboxes, but I'd be suprised if one was fitted to a Herald.Does it have an integrated bellhousing ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stamping of the number is particularly clear and precise too, otherwise I would presume it to be a badly stamped DG (Toledo),Cheers,Bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
