Hello listers,
Can anyone shed some light on the relativity of gearbox numbers compared to 
engine and vin numbers?  I don't have that number listed on the Heritage 
certificate of my TR3.  
When I bought my car back in '08, the original engine and trans were not in the 
it.  Years later, I found the original engine block, as per the Heritage 
certificate, among 11 other TR engines in the previous owners garage while 
helping him move some things.  He said at the time that he was sure that he did 
not get the block with the car and had no idea it was original to it.  
Now, while looking through a bunch of gearboxes from the same person, I found a 
box with a number about 800 later than the VIN and 151 later than the engine 
number.  I'm thinking this might be the original box from my car.  I'm thinking 
that if the engine numbers were later than the VIN, gearbox number might be 
even later.  
I will most likely never use it, or put it back in the car, but I will keep it 
with the car if there is a chance it is the original unit.
Dave H.
