Hi list
Please , I need some help in identifying a gearbox ( transmission ) and
overdrive unit that is currently installed in the GT 6 Mk 1 that I'm
interested in .
It must be Triumph and I have a strong feeling that it's either from a 2000
Saloon or 2.5 Saloon , but due to a home made gearbox tunnel cover that
could not be removed it was impossible for me to check the serial numbers .
The car is also located a few hours drive away , so can not be checked again
easily .
Basically all I could see is as follows :
Starter on right hand side .
Solenoid horizontally on left hand side .
Clutch slave cylinder on right hand side , but I may be wrong as I did not
make a note of that .
Gear lever has a black plastic knob with the shift pattern inscribed in
white on it and the overdrive switch in the middle . Gear lever knob is
round / cylindrical , with a flat top and tapers down like this if you
should view it from the side \_/ . I recall a chrome ring around the side of
the knob .
Switch is serrated like this /\/\/\/\ if you should view it from the side .
Overdrive switch shifts forward and backwards with the wording IN at the top
/ forward part and OUT at the bottom / rear part . When switch is shifted it
covers either the IN or OUT wording .
Shift pattern looks as follows :
1 3
I___IN_____I_________
I OUT I I
2 4 R
Any ideas or thoughts would be appreciated as well as thoughts about the
suitability of installing it in a GT 6 .
TIA
