Identifying V160/V161 gearboxes

[halllon]

Dear all,

 

I have a 6-speed box on my floor, and I want to find out whether it's a V160 or V161. The box have the following numbers (some cast, some print and some written there, i guess by the breaker):

 

233.0.0333.90

233.0.0171.91

233.0.0330.91

 

38/6

 

B50

 

How do I find out whether my box is a V160 or a V161?

 

All help appreciated!

I suppose if you measured accurately the input/output ratios, this would be fairly easy to do with the gearbox off the car. You could fit a large cardboard or metal disc to each shaft to enable the rotational angle to be measured accurately.

 

I did a search and I couldn't find anything else, one person actually said that there were no identifying numbers on them.
