That's a UM-1 Renault transaxle.  They were used in Renault trucks  
(something beginning with "M", Maxim?) in Europe, the Delorean, the Eagle
Premier, and 
the Vixen motorhome.  Good box, some of the club racers  in Europe use them 
when they cant afford a ZF. Mainshaft is power limited  and aftermarket
shaft 
is available if stronger is needed.
