Hello Seth, I don't have a photo. It is/was a 78 case with dual synchronizer rings. I thought the '38s had a single sync ring. So was it rebuilt at some point in the past? I'm not sure.

Regardless, it needed to be replaced/rebuilt. It was difficult to get into 2nd gear and would frequently jump out of 2nd when de-accelerating.

Thanks for the replies, we got it in. Just need to reinstall the interior bits and take it for a test ride.
