4 speed Getrag box - UK based - any value?

[robbeddington]

Hi guys, the attached 4-speed Getrag box came with my 1974 CSi - I’ve no idea of the original application etc, but it once sat in the CSi.

The numbers are stamped as follows: 262.0.200.00R serial number 061962/8.

The previous owner ran it in the CSi before swapping to a 5-speed. He said it worked perfectly, but he swapped it out of preference.

I have no need for it. Is it any use to anyone? I’m based in Staffordshire, and open to offers. Cheers - Rob

Hi Rob - I would think it is valuable. The 5 speeds we all want are not going to last forever, and it is nearly impossible to find anyone to repair them.

Good luck.

Parts are interchangeable between the 4 and 5 speeds

This should give you an idea (it's been for sale for years)

Although not shown in the photographs, there is also the correct bellhousing included in the sale & will be fitted to the gearbox as soon as I've finished my coffee & rescued the Jelly Queen in Candy Crush.

I would say valuable as believe same as the box in the CSL. The best CSLs are OEM...

I bought a pair of them for, as I recall, £84 about 3 years ago! The speedo drives (including internal drive gear and washer) ARE worth something. Someone might have an idea of the going rate. Plus as spares as Frankie mentioned.

We have a stack of them…. We sell them used for about four or 500 bucks with a warranty to replace them if it’s no good.
Going rate for a refinished one it was about 1200 bucks. Only Csl guys get them.

So that's the one part where CSL actually means saving money!
I need to consider that angle....
