Looking for a bit of info on the gearbox I have.
It's in a 1963 850 and the casing is a 22G68. It's a one owner car and not touched. We've determined it's got A type gears cos there's bushes under the mainshaft instead of bearings. The laygear is worn and needs replacing.
According to all the info I've read, the laygear should be a 22A381 but all it's stamped as a G40. Is this the same laygear? These are hard to get but there is one on ebay for $295 (NOS).
Everyone I've spoken to reckons I'd be better off upgrading to B type gears and I can get hold of a complete box with casing 22G382 which would do the job. Unknown condition as it's still in the car. Still want to keep magic wand.
What would you blokes suggest - buy the laygear to suit the A type (assuming I can still buy it and the 22A381 is the right one) or go with the B type?
Thanks for your help, Rocky
Upgrade gives you options should you need them in the future.
