Hello everyone I have a few questions, about the Renault r5 mk1 5-speed gearbox... I am in the process of buying one but it is missing the fifth gear (only gear is missing, it has fifth gear shifting fork at least that's what owner said).
My question: is the gearbox from the picture a 5-speed or 4-speed and whether it's possible to find (buy) the fifth gear?

Here's the picture I don't see very well from the picture but I think it is a 5-speed...
 
It is not clear from the photo if the nose extension is there, so that we can say for sure if it is a 5-speeder.

To me it seems suspect that a gearbox on a car that has not been dismantled had been running without a fifth gear...maybe is he trying to sell you a four-speed gearbox? Gears are not that easy to source, and if you can find one pair, thay may cost the price of the secondhand gearbox...so it's pointless.
