Title: Gearboxes for 16v?
Post by: mutant on 21 May 2007, 23:44

Hi

I was given a 16v at the weekend.  When I picked it up, the owner said he'd swapped out the gearbox for one that wasn't close ratio.  Wondering if anyone knows what gearbox code its likely to be, and whether it'd be worth swapping my close ratio box off my other valver or not?  He says its running around 2500 in fifth at 70 mph but then again I don't do long journeys very often so would I be better swapping it or not?

Thanks

Lee

yes get an original 16v 2y box, or an 8v ACD box
