I know that the manual boxes in the EA didn't have syncromesh reverse, where as the EB onwards did. But as for the autos, NFI.

Nope, AUs weren't the first.

well we jsut double checked and my mates crunches into reverse like my eb (without synchro reverse) did....maybe sychro is stuffed......

I know for a fact that the ED has the syncromesh reverse and I'm sure that the EB is the same. I think that it's even outlined in the gregory's workshop manual, I'll take a look at mine when I get home.

I believe synchro reverse was added with the 4.0 litre EB.

My 94 ED (factory manual) dosent have a syncronised reverse....

Well then it isn't the factory gearbox.

cArSiK · 05-22-2003, 02:36

Errm well thats why myford.com says it has a 5 spd floor manual and the previos owner didnt have the box out once.....

It is a factory gearbox and reverse isnt syncronised.

I know the repair manual says EB2 and ED are syncronised but EVERY factory one ive been in HAVENT been syncronised.

So you're saying that the information in the workshop manual is inaccurate? Umm...
