Hi Gerry,

It's probably a type F if it's an original Capri V6 g/box.

HAY JAMIE

yes it does look like that just not with a aloy case at the back of the g/box its all cast iron
and the the linkages look slightly differant not alot
but preaty close to it, a f box is it i ave been looking looking every were i dont know i heard a silica g/bos or a supra box is dam good for these cars ....but then you have to change the bellhouseing..

cheers

I'm using a supra box(dellow bellhousing) in my v6 capri and I think its a much better cruiser for it.

Hi Wogboy, I am just recoing the original v6 box and I got all the bits I needed from Burtons,
Its actually the later gearbox for the v6 (type 5) that you need bits from.
The front and rear seals, 4synchros, front, middle and rear bearings, and layshaft needle rollers are as per type 5. You can make up your own gaskets, and the side linkage seals can be had localy.

+1 for the Supra box here - it's just fantastic behind the V6.
