what is the best oil for a spitfire 1500 gearbox with overdrive oil reading a few articles all seem to have different ideas re GL-4 or GL-5.

Just finnished stripping gearbox down and cleaning case and noticed that ser no has been stamped over the FR is still there but a ATT2272 040692 has been stamped I was wondering if this is a remanufacturers number and date stamp any ideas who marked there boxes with the ATT stamp, all insides ok except it looks like someone tried to put it in reverse at 30mph.

Finaly got it undon with a bit of heat and a bigger hammer.

Got gearbox stripped down and need a new layger cluster ,reverse idler and syncro hub for 1st & 2nd, been offered a 1300 3 rail box, am I right in thinking I can use all three of the bits out of this box  part numbers seem to match.
