sp8s 1 Report post Posted March 31, 2011 How do you or even if you can ID a gearbox. Got a ZF cheap but dont know what it came out of. Its an overdrive version. I know there are markings on it to say what it is and the ratios but not what it came out of. Was told it came out of a 525 early 90's. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
