How to tell if it's a 6 speed gearbox

Postby mxfive95 » Tue Sep 28, 2010 9:14 pm

I'm looking at buying a 6 speed gearbox but want to make sure it is a 6 and not 5 speed. It's interstate and the seller has emailed me this photo of it. Is there any way of identifying the differences?

Any help would be great.

Craig, can't see your pic, but there are some pics of 6 & 5 speed side by side on here, just can't find them at the moment.
