so now that you know its a AUG box you can use the webpage http://www.scirocco.org/gears/ to calculate different speeds/rpm's for gear ratio's until you find one that suits! id just stick a longer 5th in it, and be done with it!

Nice one cheers gambit your a true gent 

[Mcwill]

So I think if I have done it rite my box should be able to do 134mph, that sounds about rite.

[Mcwill]

Sorry to go over something that has been gone over 1000 times before but I'm confused don't take much.
After doing lots of research I had came to the conclusion that I needed/wanted a 02a box with code cdm or ata for my mk2 abf, But after talking to topgear/gearbox rebuilders they have told me its a total different box?
Help!

Is that not the build date rather than the 'box code?

[Mcwill]

No aug is the code on the box I have just blown up, it's the 8v mk2 box

[Gambit]

02o box is rod selector. 02a cable change box. So if you had an aug then you would need to change the whole gear shift mechanism to run a 02a

[Mcwill]

Yeah that was the plan gambit.
So I was rite the 02a will fit the abf

[Gambit]

Yes it will physically fit the block, you just need associated parts to go with it like clutch & shifter assembly etc
