Yes its a straight cut box, that is about all you can tell from a picture like that, and really all you could tell with it in front of you until you tool it to pieces.

It doe's look pretty clean inside though, but thats not a teribly good guide to condition. On 28th Aug, 2011 Kean said:

I think it's of a A series not A+ due to the studs on the side, so will be the smaller idler bearing 1/2 " as opposed to 3/4"

Also looks to have a 4 bolt mainshaft bearing retainer, which isn't great.

The 4th bolt drilling (arrowed in pic below) is very close to the top of the alloy casing, quite often these casings will crack from that uppermost bolt drilling to the top of the casing, or even sometimes through to the bearing counterbore.

yeah that looks like the weaker casing that quite a few peeps advised me not to use, but its not a real problem to swop to a different casing.
no longer a series, but still 1.3 turbo.

It is not so much if the gears are chipped (fairly obvious to see) but if the syncro faces of the gears are worn away (need to strip to see) as this entails new gears (a JKD 2nd gear used to be about 60quid). What make is the gearset if JKD you'll never get bits for it as JKD had nowt on the shelf when I rang up a couple of weeks ago despite the massive online Mini catalogue on their site.
