Post subject: | Gearbox question? |
Hi All, Can anyone please identify this Gearbox number for me: 22G68. Which model is it from & when was it used (which era)? Any other detail would be appreciated (synchro, etc). It also has a serial number 5/22013. Will that give me any info? Thanks. |

It's a 3 synchro, baulk ring synchro. Can be either A or B form gears. used on 850, 998, 997 and 998 Cooper, remote shift or magic wand. ![]() |

Doc will tell you more than me but i think its to do with the angles of the teeth on the laygear...at what angle they mesh... |

The tooth form was changed around 1964, B form are stronger- and were used on all A series Mini boxes thereafter. I think their `pressure angle' is different. To see if the box actually has Cooper gears in it, count the teeth on 3rd gear, should be 24T. (23T was used on 850). A Cooper 997 laygear (A form) should be p/no 22G76, or 22G197. Many parts for these old boxes are now NLA, so good luck... ![]() B type gears can be fitted into these boxes if you fit the whole geartrain. |

Great, thanks Doc my cars a 63 & the gearbox is joined to a van motor at the moment. When I get a chance I will check it out. Good info thanks again. |
