Possibly a silly question, but please humour me as I'd like to be sure - what gearbox is this?

The reason I ask - it's supposed to be a w58.. and I thought it looked like a w58.. BUT, it has 6 gears plus a reverse being on the far right/down ie 7 in total.. car hasn't been run since I bought it so only just picked up on it upon dropping the box out

 

and now my brain exploded with confusion..

 

cheers :)

That's the very rare 6 speed where 6th makes you go backwards :eek:

 

:eyebrows: could it be a screwed linkage making it feel as if there's an extra gear maybe? kind of hard to explain, there's 7 distinct 'shifts' so just trying to get my head around what may or may not be fubarred!
