Dominique Posted October 3, 2021 Report Share Posted October 3, 2021 I have got a 1968 TR5 PI, CKD model, build in MALINES Belgium. I have a lot of documents and have never found any gearbox modifications. so I'm very surprised to find this gearbox number : D16L70 Have you got an explication for that?( normally CD....) thanks a lot Dominique from FRANCE Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stuart Posted October 3, 2021 Report Share Posted October 3, 2021 Possibly replaced in 1970 Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dominique Posted October 3, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2021 but if it is replaced, it was surely a TR6 gearbox and this is not a TR6 gearbox number... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobH Posted October 3, 2021 Report Share Posted October 3, 2021 (edited) Isn't that raised numbering just the casting number? The box number is stamped, I believe it is usually on the left side on the clutch shaft lug. Edited October 3, 2021 by RobH typo Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Replacement boxes dont necessarily have the original letter coding and if it was replaced by Malines then they may well have used their own numbering. Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This is from a Malines built 5 as well, notice the numbers at the bottom also show a date. Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
