Aren't those A230 ?? Wait! you are right again, those early 3 speeds have the top cover and the A230 has the side cover and a syn first gear plus a provision for the floor shifter. The Toad is getting the A230 and a hurst shifter, and it all sits under a tarp wait'n for some some attention!!! I forget what number they call those early ones.
I got that DRS disease! Don't remember ****!

I don't know what dictates what transmission they got, but the early ones were the A903, like Vixen has and the A745.The A745 is what came in some of the Max Wedge cars. They also have the top loader plate, but are obviously much heavier duty. The A230 has a very similar looking case to the A833. It's a very stout transmission for a three speed.
