Gearbox ratios/Selector type

Recommended Posts

Hi

 

I was wondering two things

 

1 - Does the C with the KR engine have the same gearbox ratios as the golf?

 

2 - If it does, is it cable or rod change?

 

My thinking is to put the gearbox onto the PG engine, because it seems to have a fairly high ratio'd box, so the lower/closer ratios would be a good improvement.

 

Cheers

AFAIK, all Corrados are cable change 02A boxes, which are taller than the 020 rod change Golf boxes.

 

All the Corrados could do with a restack of the ratios imo, especially G60 and VR6 models. The VR would be devasting with a close ratio box but you have to be careful not to shorten the ratios too much or the engine will rev-out too quickly. Therefore I'd recommend a 6 speed box, keeping 5th as 6th and restacking the lower range accordingly. It ain't cheap, but it's the best way of doing it. Alternatively, the current VW six speeders allegedley fit the C.
