Hi, there is an increasing sense of dread as we strip down my gearbox. Lots of broken teeth and stuff. Questions; what suffix box is this? I have another box an insane pal stripped down 10 years ago for fun, what sort is this? photos attached...

Clutch fine

After 5 years of slowly rebuilding a 2A safari, tried to drive to the chip shop today. the driver tried to change to third and an incredible noise of crashing gears deafened us. Mission aborted and back again. massive crunching when moving- and...
