its a strange critter, the upper shifts into fwd. or rev.---no neutral, the long tail shaft plugs into a clutch disc/like car set-up which provides the neutral. All shifted by a electric shift/servo box all at once, the clutch disc and the drive rotation.

Yep, that's the 215E. It was made from 1970-72 ' using serial numbers 2909035 thru 2915034. As stated earlier it was a crazy set up with a automotive type clutch for nutral and forward-reverse shifting in the top end of the drive. Easily identified by it's long drive/yoke shaft and shift coupler between the drive and transom bell housing.
The 215H was more like the TRS. It used a hydraulic transmission (probably B-W) with a tailstock like on the Borg-Warner which bolts to the transom plate. There fore it had a short drive/yoke shaft.
1973 the TRS was born using the Borg Warner and then the Merc Trans ll which shared some internal parts from the Ford FMX transmission.
