Not sure.

3A steering gear PN 647694
3A Shaft & lever assy PN A-745
Ratio 14-12-14 to 1

Early M38 steering gear PN 801691
Early M38 shaft & lever PN 801715
Ratio 15.4-13.5-15.4 to 1

Late M38 steering gear PN 804384
Late M38 Shaft & lever PN 804534
Ratio 15.4-13.5-15.4 to 1

This data appears to say no.

thanks Wes, next winter i want to replace the sectorshaft in my steeringbox together with the bushings, not replaced during the rest a few years ago, and i miss the zero play spot in the middle, propably the two pens on the sector shaft are worn out. Tje heep steers fine, but i want to go for zero play in the steering. Our GPW has zero playing, the steeringbox has also a new sectorshaft together with new bushings.

First i have to see if i have a early or late steering box, i know there is some info on this forum here.
