hi. i need help to identify a trans that says opel on it. i know pictures would help but i have none. tha numbers on the case are as follows;R6-666-487. under that is 7L 1 followed below with the number 86. it has aluminum tailshaft housing, and appears to be a three speed. it has a rather odd shift mechanism. the shaft also moves in and out as if it is searching for reverse, but could not do so. there appears to be no internal damage and it is very clean inside. has a bottom pan with drain plug. i think it around a 58-59 opel, but some research suggests vauxhall. would like to know year, model, and value as i would like to sell it. thanks in advance for any help. skip.
