jaw Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 (edited) Possibly a silly question, but please humour me as I'd like to be sure - what gearbox is this? https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xpa1/t31.0-8/p843x403/1617622_10152317176346829_4376081575486203329_o.jpg The reason I ask - it's supposed to be a w58.. and I thought it looked like a w58.. BUT, it has 6 gears plus a reverse being on the far right/down ie 7 in total.. car hasn't been run since I bought it so only just picked up on it upon dropping the box out and now my brain exploded with confusion.. cheers Edited October 20, 2014 by jaw (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitz Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Check if there are any engravments on the gearbox. If the you discover 'Getrag' it'll be either the V160 OR V161 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh42 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 That's a w58 from a mkiv supra(judging by the shifter cradle) and the far right and down gear is reverse:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaan W Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 That's the very rare 6 speed where 6th makes you go backwards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaw Posted October 20, 2014 Author Share Posted October 20, 2014 (edited) That's the very rare 6 speed where 6th makes you go backwards could it be a screwed linkage making it feel as if there's an extra gear maybe? kind of hard to explain, there's 7 distinct 'shifts' so just trying to get my head around what may or may not be fubarred!
