Well that would mean that at some point somebody has removed the Kr lump and fitted it with a 2.0 9a

it just means the gearbox code is 9a, which is correct for an early valver :)
the difference is it has a combined upshift light/reverse switch, whereas the 2y box just has a reverse light switch :)

cheers johnny

going to change the box for the spare one I got in the garage once I have cleaned and painted it up as its got the correct 2 pin switch for the reverse switch.

But top info
