good to know on the trans cases. similarly, are the Spit and GT diff cases =
the same/interchangeable?

The GT6 input shaft has to be shortened to be used in a Spitfire, and the s=

Interesting...I received three gearboxes with my Spitfire.=C2=A0
In the car is an overdrive box. The other two are standard 4 speed Spitfire=
 boxes; one labeled =E2=80=98wide=E2=80=99, the other =E2=80=98close=E2=80=
=99.
Now you have me wondering what=E2=80=99s inside??
How did they build different ratio boxes back in the day?
