LT77 / LT77S / R380 Gearbox Serial No. Location
You should find the Gearbox Serial Number Stamped on a machined flat near the Drain Plug area, please see the picture below.
The Number Consists Of A Prefix e.g. 56A, then a six digit numerical, followed by Suffix Letter. Suffix A to H is an LT77 Box, Suffix J onwards is an R380. You can also tell LT77 from R380 by the position of the Reverse Gear on the Gearstick. If Reverse is next to 1st gear you have an LT77 (or possibly LT85, see LT85 section). If Reverse is below 5th you have an R380.
