   This ZF is a -0   series used in the original GT 40. Note that the differential side covers are aluminum and that they do not have the provision for the "top cover" cross tension bolts we are use to seeing on -1 and -2 transaxles. The tail cover is also aluminum.

    The exposed shifter is unique in the fact that it is also a sequential shift mechanism of sorts. On this series of ZF you MUST go through the gears in sequence ( 1st to 2nd  to 3rd and back to 2nd and then to 1st before you can return to neutral. You can not go from 5th to 3rd as you can in a -1 or -2 box , you must go to 4th gear on the way down.
    I've rebuilt these for Harley Cluxton here in Scottsdale , Arizona and got an education on the shifter function after finishing my first one !!  These boxes also have a unique input shaft and the pinion shaft also....they are both shorter in length therefore not interchangeable with -1 & -2 boxes. The rear case is also shorter.
      This box (as stated by someone else here) needs to find a home with an factory original GT 40 car owner to be kept with the chassis as a spare.
    
                                                              Best regards,

                                                                     L. Gray

  To me this looks like a Dash-0 transmission. Rare IMO!
