    Default Re: P51 Gearbox How you tell?

    MA45 ran a W50 box, but then again it might be a P51. No idea and was never really fussed here, but might be worth investigating for you??

    You are right.


    You can't without a lot of trouble.

    Nothing on the outside.


    MOST OBVIOUS SIGN.

    The main bearing in the centre plate on a P51 is held in by four bolts.

    The main bearing on a W50 is held in by a circlip.


    SEEING IT THROUGH THE OIL HOLE IS IMPOSSIBLE.

    if you have a skinny long finger and you crook it around to the plate you might just feel the top right bolt its 12mm.

    maybe from the drain hole is OK I dont know?
