only adverse effects from my old gearbox is the reverse light switch is wrong for the loom! apart from that its perfect! ratios seem the same as my original box which was crunchier than a caburys crunchy!

can someone with the correct gearbox fitted to a 1990/1991 16v let me know what revs you are at at 70 and 80 in 5th. ( closed road of course )  :wink:

Thanks

according to gvk's ratio calculator:
http://www.aufg48.dsl.pipex.com/speed-ratio.html

At 70mph with 195/50/15 tires you'll be at 3465rpm, and at 80 3960rpm.
