Different prefix letters in the ##, F =3D spit, K =3D GT-6.Among the diffe=
rences besides tooth count, they also changed the tooth profile/angle, main=
shaft, 1st motion etc.Cases are the same, at least up to the single rail bo=
x.

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?
