Confused myself again (not difficult), but had the top off the gearbox to cure a small leak.
Looking into the gearbox I notice THREE syncro rings. This would explain why changing up or down
into second does not go with a crunch, or am I just lucky !.
This is where the confusion comes in. At the front of the top cover it is marked 2 SYN 181. Now I
thought this meant the gearbox had two syncro rings for 3rd and 4th but maybe I am wrong.
Also I thought the three syncro box was not introduced until 1934, which is a year after my car was
first registered.
Maybe the car has had a replacement gearbox at some stage, but can anyone confirm I have dates
for the three syncro box correct and that the 2 SYN number is for a two syncro box.
