The later gearbox, as stated, is different, and quite a bit larger so I would imagine that a lot more of the components would be different (larger?). But to be fair I havn't had to go inside one yet. so can't speak from experience.
Just in the middle of that problem. I got the normal sj410 gearbox ,only to found out that the very early sj410 (1982) had a slightly different gearbox . Mainly where the mounting is attached to the chassis. I do not know if there are any 1981/83 gearboxes left :cry:
