Buyer beware.
« on: September 15, 2018, 09:35:42 »
At first glance I thought this was a good deal for someone but soon realized that both of the pictured transmissions are not going to fit in a Pagoda.  The one with the aluminum top plate lacks the W113 chassis required dropped shifter arm and the other transmission is a side shift gearbox which will not work without tunnel modifications..  Buyer beware.

Here is a picture of the correct transmission top for reference:
