The only one I can find is… cgi.ebay.co.uk/David-Brown-Maint … 0680742265

…But this is for a 5 speed 557 'box.
John may have found another one, but you will need the manual for a 6A/600 gearbox or similar.
If you get stuck, I have one and can copy some parts for you.

I’m not sure what you have found here John, but I can’t find anything at all.
4 or 5 names of companies that specialise in DB gearboxes? - please tell us more!.
Finding anyone with DB parts thesedays is very unusual. Even the well known rebuilders from the days when these 'boxes were current have no spares left now.

I had a look on e-bay last night and could only find tractor manuals :confused: , however I have managed without the book and the gearbox is build up ready to be fitted in the morning.

Thanks for the help and offer. :wink: :smiley: :smiley:
