Well there you go - I have printed said gearbox guide out and bound it all up nice and pretty but I must admit I have not read it from cover to cover.

Are the innards the same as a standard box ? or just a stronger housing for more reliable paddock bashing duties ?
I started with nothing and still have most of it left.

I've not read anything to suggest they are different internally as yet. If I ever get to stripping it yet I may find out.
