I have one of these I think, does anyone know what numbers should be on it so I can identify what it is? As I know there were a few 6 pot getrags, anyone know what the best one out of them is to use on a sport (as in strong and reliable etc)

Look for the serial number around the bell housing. Sport boxes will have either TNN or HM in it.

The best to use on a Sport would probably be a sport box, but any Getrag 260 will be just as strong and you aren't likely to break on with an m20
