Greetings fellow rear-engine Fiat nuts. I understand that the 850 Spider's gearbox comes from the factory with an 8/41 (5.1:1) gear set. And I've read that 8/37 gears will fit the gearbox...but one question remains, in my head at least: how do I determine definitively if a particular pinion with 8 teeth and ring-gear with 37 teeth will actually fit? In this case, I see a set for sale that's purported to be for an "850 N"...and in photos, it looks awful similar.
Is it safe to assume that, an 8/37 ring and pinion advertised as being correct for an "850 N", will fit my 1969 Fiat 850 Spider's gearbox?
