200 R 4 bell housing

[moose]

Greetings All,

Cleaning the housing on a 200R-4 transmission. On the top of the bellhousing are raised cast numbers 405, a larger 5 and below them is G. two questions What do they signify and confirm there is no harm in sanding them off for a clean appearance.

Thanks

Sanding is fine.
The numbers are just casting numbers to help identify the cases.

Anyone who wants to go looking for those numbers in the finished car is going to be going to a lot of trouble for nothing...
