glang this gearbox didnt come out of my car i did a swap for it, also my cars not on the lucas injection system the previous owner removed it

yeah it seems like its from a mk2 according to the 2000 register, probly some one cleaned up the area its stamped not filed it down,

ok didnt realise they were all hand stamped, i think possibly the original number stamped has been filed down and re stamped as it looks shiney compaired to the rest, agree with the ratio's only really slight differences

could well be, the mk7211 number is hand stamped and looks  to new for an original marking,

Colin it was removed from a saloon il look to see if it has the bulge somewere

yes the number is mk7211 looks to me hand stamped

I have a J type overdrive box with 21A76 stamped on the near side boss where the cross shaft arm is, on the opposite side on the casing is the raised numbers 8830681286, can any one identify this gearbox thanks

Fit all the new bush's centrally should be ok then,

my 2500 saloon had the same problem with no slack in drive shafts or prop new uj's all round new poly bushs on trailing arms and diff mount, replaced the bevel and thrust washers in the diff chris witor sells these washers in various sizes,

ok thanks for your help il let you no the out come🙂

ive read that page again and in the paragraph close ratio gears above the ratio chart he's refering to the ways of obtaining a close ratio gear set for a tr6 box, he then say's the readily available sprint gear set for 600 dollers to me this means cause its a readily available standard sprint box easy to aquire rather than paying out alot more for specialist gear sets in the chart below,

glang if you look at the first link you sent me the sprint gearbox ratios are there in the ratio chart, moss europe and rimmers sell close ratio gear sets for the Tr6 gearbox which are exactly the same as the standard sprint gearbox 1st 2.19:1  2nd 1.57:1 3rd 1.23:1 4th 1:1

Pipercross are selling 5ltrs valvoline 20/50 vr1 on ebay at the momment £30.99p free postage

thanks for the info Colin i no what to look for now, looked at that box on ebay and id prefer an overdrive box plus im based in wickford essex,

Yes stonleigh is a good idea, id be happy with £250 as well,Yes the cross shaft pins do go fairly often, the box in my car has a roll pin added and seems good so far, how do i identify a proper sprint box? i  presume there will be specific part numbers on the casing?
