British Gearboxes/Reverse Idlers
Here is an interesting comparison of British gearbox reverse idlers (the gear you engage when shifting into reverse). The gear on the left is from Triumph TR3B thru TR6 late. The center gear is Austin Healey four speed gearboxes. The gear on the right is full syncro Jaguar E Type. The Jag tremendously overbuilt, it looks like it could be Kenworth. These boxes are extremely difficult to break. The earlier Moss gearboxes fitted to XK cars and Morgan are very similar construction.
