Hi, I'm looking for a replacement gearbox for my 1976 scimitar it's a 3 lt Essex, gearbox has overdrive. The 3 selector rods at external going to a remote gear shift. I would be interested if you have similar. I understand mine is a type 5 or a type F but not sure which. I have heard reliant fitted ford type gears into a reliant housing and this my be the type F.
I live near Dyserth North wales
My overdrive is OK.
Thanks

Hi Tobot,

Your gearbox is a type "F" and is a different gearbox than the type 5.

Your gearbox is based around the "F" type as used on Ford Zephyr and early Capri MK1 3000GT gearbox with a Laycock overdrive unit attached, the type 5 will fit, but it is not the gearbox you are looking for, pity as your only 28 miles away.

Regards.
