Hi all, How do you tell the difference between a 5 and 6 speed gearbox. externally anyway. I've just been given an engine gearbox and front axel.. For free!!!. My mate doesn't know what year/model it came from. I can tell you all it's a 20v turbo as the turbo's still attached. Cheers Tim

There's 2 types of 5 speed gearbox and 1 type of 6 speed.

IIRC the 6 speed is made up of 3 casings so that should be a sign. I think one specific model has a cable to prevent you accidentally slipping it into reverse, whereas the others only have lift up plastic deflectors.

Have you tried pulling the linkages to find the gears? laugh

Tried today, seems to be jammed. Although i think it's a 5 speed unit (checked my eper). I have the same FMIC as you, but unfortunately I don't have any pipe work?. Can you tell me where you got yours or can you supply a kit?.. Cheers tim
