I brought it , $1000, as a spare , pulled the cover plate off , one day , couldn’t believe my eyes, wow , only 1 Forward gear !! Thanks Kiwi John

Someone must have used it in a mid engine racer, like a formula Ver, or similar. It’s totally reversible. You’ll need someone to reset the ring gear backlash and preload, but it’s a straight forward return to stock.
