HotRodMatt Posted May 26, 2014 Report Posted May 26, 2014 I've got a three rail one I'll be selling once I've fitted the gearstick and counted the ratios. It's on a cable clutch so unlikely to be Lotus Cortina/Mexico originally but may be of use to you? Located near Boroughbridge, North Yorkshire.

HotRodMatt Posted May 31, 2014 Report Posted May 31, 2014 I've fitted the gearstick and counted the ratios, 1st gear is approx 3:1 and 2nd gear is approx 2:1 which would make it a semi close ratio box (2.97:1 and 2.01:1). According to google these were fitted to Cortina GT, Cortina 1600E, Lotus Cortina MK1 (late), Lotus Cortina MK2, Capri 1600GT, Capri 2.0 V4, Escort T/C, Escort Mexico OHV, and Escort RS1600. I'm open to offers on the 'box so drop me a PM and we'll take it from there.
