hobbit:
That clarifies that, it either means I have a s3 box on an 88 with no synchro in first, or a 2a with a synchro fitted on 2nd.

Either way it works ok, just wondering

As far as a can say about yours, by the comments above it depends on how much hammer you give it.

stratie:
the 11a is non synchromesh in first and second gear, but you only have to double the clutch.
it's a  stronger box than the 111a.

My 2a box has always been a good one - 2nd is definitely not synchro but always changes so well that you never need to double clutch going up the box, and in most circumstances don't need to when changing down.  That said, it's a lazy gearbox that needs nice slow changes if you want to be smooth (synchros baulk in 3rd & top if you hurry it).  I've driven the thing for the last 20 years (and 120,000 miles) and nothing much has changed in it over that time - must just be a good one.
