Top loader


Single rail


Could be a T5?, if so you can buy shifters off eBay for them pretty cheap

Has to be a single rail, my 4sp XF was prone to having the shifter end up in my lap half way between Euroa and Seymour

My one had the added problem of a stripped thread in the housing, at the time they were rare as rocking horse shit on their own. No one wanted to sell a good one on its own.
