How many gears in a 300D?
2 in each of 4 doors = 8
4 to pump the oil = 4
2 in the steering gear = 2
2 in each front seat = 4
2 for each forward speed in the trans = 8
3 for reverse in the trans = 3
4 in the differential = 4
A cursory tally indicates there are at least 33 gears in an 83 300D, not
considering the clock.
