Hi again Mike,
I should also point out that the type of bell housing (6 cylinder in this
case) has little relationship to the gear set as they are easily
interchangeable on all BN2 and 6 cylinder side shift gearboxes.

Subject: Tranny identity crisis - follow-up
Hello folks. This is a follow up to my recent thread on the transmission
from my BN7. To refresh, it is a side shift from my BN7 but has a BN2 tag
on it. It will be mated to a BJ8 engine. There is some confusion as to
whether this is a BN2 box that was put in the car at some point, or a proper
box for the BN7 from the factory using a leftover BN2 casing. From the
earlier posting I have learned that some other listers have similar
situations where their MKI cars have the BN2 tranny label - some with a 7
stamped over the 2. The following link will show a bunch of pictures of the
gears and one of the bell housing. For those interested...
