RE: SER1 S2 gearbox

Hi Mark,

I suspect it is an early S2 gear box. They do have the S1 style oil filler. 
Another detail is that the bellhousig will have openings on either side for 
the clutch mechanism (i.e for LHD and RHD applications).  The S2 gearbox is 
of use to us S1 nuts, because the bellhousing matches up to the 2L engine 
with no mods.

As for the hydraulic clutch mechanism, perhaps it is a later add-on.

Hi All,

I have just acquired what I was told was a Series Two gearbox (it was a 
freebie) but it is unusual in that it has the Series One style filler cap - 
the removable lid held down with a spring clip, but does not have the dip 
stick, and it has the hydraulic clutch fittings still attached. I have not 
got a number from it yet, but just wondered if anyone could shed any light 
on it. Obviously a picture would be easier, but the major will not allow 
that. Did the early Series Two gearboxes have this method of filling them 
with oil, or is it possible it is a lash up with various bits of gearbox?

Cheers
