    Hello everyone,

    So the synchro's from first second and third gear are getting worn a bit.
    Now I am looking to replace the gearbox with a new one, sadly they are expensive and rare to find, at least in Europe.
    I know the gearbox from my 1st gen Speed 3 has A26M-R as gearbox code.
    Someone in my country wants to sell me one of those for next to nothing but I found out it looks a bit different from "real" speed gearboxes. However, they both are A26M-R gearboxes, when you type in 'A26M-R' into google you also find gearboxes from the BL 2.2MZR turbo which is definitely not a Speed 3.
    I gotta say from the pictures it looks much more like the one from the 2.2MZR instead of the 2.3 Turbo from the Speed. I was hoping if there is anyone who can tell me the differences between them.

    There are some pictures of the gearbox I want to buy, hoping you guys know if it is the right one.

    Thanks in advance

    Thanks for sharing, might come on handy one day. I have picked up the gearbox last weekend, I hope it fits.
    In 3 weeks I will have it replaced together with the clutch and flywheel.
