Steve,

Thanks for the reply I thought you may have an insight.

Not having seen a CJ2 box I was only guessing. The thing is that one box has
the typical A class number, the other two have T84-J. The two variants
appear to be the standard WWII gearbox pattern. They're just different
castings. I thought there was some significance in it.

So now I have three types of MB/GPW jeep gearboxes to take notes on. The
early one (on my jeep rhs filler & drain), one medium/late issue(lhs filler
& drain) with the A class number and now two T84's (lhs filler & drain).

Hmm, where's Todd Paisley to put in a final technical comment, and clear
away the smoke ?

Rgds,

John
