1968L (USA) gearbox code help

I saw the attached Kardex for USA 1968L Coupe 118 0 5118 the other day and am confused about the gearbox type shown on it

Attachment 447667
it shows gearbox number 3280871 but against it it seems to show gearbox type 901/14
I have never heard of a 901/14 gearbox type and cant find it in my spec books but that might be lack of knowledge
However ALL similar numbered 3280xxx gearboxes I have record of on 68L's are type 902/1 (or the little spec book shows them in one place as 902/01)
Is this a rare mistake on a Kardex :eek: or is it something that I have not come across before and is not in the normal spec books ? OR is it just that I cant read a Kardex properly :)

I would think it is just another engine number (and type i.e. 901/14), whether it is a typo or replacement engine is another matter......it also means that there is no gearbox number which I also can't explain! Sorry not much help really.......

Hi Tim

it is really the gearbox number - not another engine number. I think it is a mistake on the Kardex but I dont think I have ever heard about one on an engine or gearbox type before
BUT you are correct the 328xxxx engines in 1968 were 901/14 - maybe the person writing up the kardex made a mistake and put the engine type in the gearbox type part because both engine and gearbox started with 3280
the info and a picture of both the kardex and gearbox number is now posted in the for sale section here in post 1895

Hi Hugh

I see.....would suggest it is a 902/1 box that was optional on the USA 68L, the 901/14 being the typo element in that it should have been put after '328 0588' on the Kardex?

yes i think so

I agree that the trans type is incorrect. I have other Kardex with the correct type attached to similar range trans serial numbers.
