Looks like a 5 speed at least, and it has a speedo drive. If it says M60 at the housing on the side the clutch slave is mounted its a M20 gearbox, otherwise M10

OK,after further investigation on this site and comparing some pics,it seems to be a 5spd economy box,does this sound right? Just wanted to 100% identify it as im thinking of selling my E21 and all the parts so i needed to be sure what it was!

Yup, it most likely is. Most doglegs have the Reverse light switch on the rear of the box. Also see the FAQ section for more info:
