IB5 Speedo Drive?
Ripped the box out of the missus KA today.
The new box we went to put in looked identical, even had the same part numbers stamped onto the casting of the box.
Except where the speedo drive fits on the old Box the new box has a bung in there?
We removed the bung but there's no cog to drive the speedo drive.
Before we go hunting for another donor box, does anybody know how many different types of boxes were likely fitted to the KA?
Bailes.

After 3 different gearboxes we finally found one that fit!
First one didn't have a speedo drive.
Second had it's mount in the wrong place.
Third came off a SportKA but fits fine.
God knows what the ratios are going to be like

Yeah that's what I assumed!
Just worked out the gear ratios.
Not too bad.
70mph with the standard box is 3300rpm.
70mph with the SportKA box is 3600rpm.
1st is slightly longer. All the rest are marginally shorter. No biggie really.
