My local wrecker has a couple of 5 speed gear boxes, and i'm trying to figure out how to identify a couple of things about them:

1. Both are out of 81 528i's

2. What markings identify whether they are overdrive or not?

3. What identifies a close ratio gearbox over a regular wide ratio?

thanks,

jason
