4 speed gearbox ID help

[caprilaser]

Does anyone know what gearbox this is?

 

 

The tailhousing looks similar to this but the drain plug is on the other side and there are other differences too.

Any help would be great, cheers

Hmm that is strange, looks like type 3 to me as well but like you say the filler plug is on the wrong side, i was looking on this site

I think it is an early single rail from a mk2 cortina.

 

It might have the 2000E ratios in it - if it does it's a nice box with good selection - ideally suited to a crossflow as it's similar size gear set to a 3 rail (small)(and it's a 3 rail case so it was a "bitza" in its day.)

 

I had one in my cortina originally and it was great - i have a quick shift for it if you're interested and it has the right ratios.....

Type 3 dont have a drain plug, id say mk2 cortina, should have a date on it somewhere.
