Also does anyone know if it is a 4-Speed Manual Transmission, close ratio, hvy dty how canyou tell.

Thanks.

 

You can tell if it's close ratio tranny by turning the input shaft 2.2 turns and see if the output turns one turn. If it turns slightly more, then it's a wide ratio. As far as heavy duty (rock crusher), you'd have to see if it has straight cut gears or not. If it was driveable, you could tell by the gear whine.

Good luck on your sale.
