Regarding gearboxes, My 69 2000TC has a four speed box that begins with
401.... and has a "G" suffix. So what do I have? The bushing type or the
needle -roller-bearing type. It needs work (prob. synchro rings on 1-2-3)
but I don't want to spend money on a "bushing box". Any ideas as to what I
have ?
