    The main difference in the newer gearbox’s is if you were to swap it directly with your old gearbox, the prop will turn in the opposite direction. The driveshaft and brass control rod may also be a different length. No problem as you already have the correct ones on your motor. The Lower unit control rod (3LGS37) is the part that is different on the two gearboxes. Your old gearbox has the right one for your motor. This is the part that will determine your prop rotation.
