Hi,
Aside from taking them apart, how could I tell what gears are in what tranny???
If I open them up, are there numbers on the gears that I could find without taking it apart further???
I may just put each one in the car, drive it and see based upon speed/tach what I have....
Any ideas???

I gave up on the letters. I count the teeth. I mark one tooth with a paint marker and count from there.
A lot of the times.. I mark the top of the tranny with what it has in it.. I have seen Brad Mayeur do this also.

You could put the tranny into each gear and count the revolutions. The R+P is the constant. Mark the input shaft and turn the output flanges.

Looks like two of them have no first gear...just deleted...

What are the stock gears? (Letters?)

That is "different". My guy's have at least 1-2 tranny's with 904 main shafts or custom shafts that allow 3rd gear to go in place of 1st... so they have 5 "race" usable gears. Have to push/pull the car to grid or shutter it in a third gear.
If we have a box with first.. we use it.

ZD is stock 4cyl 5th
F is stock 4cyl 2nd
A is first
I forget the stock 3rd/4th
Typically people will build a M3/S4/X5 box. This is a cheap racers box to build.
