WillMK7 10 Posted February 22, 2016 Hi chaps, I've been driving my valver for around 6 months now and love it of course. However I do find it tops out quite quickly, with the current gearbox I hit 3,000 rpm at 60 in 5th. I don't do a lot of long distance driving, but in the trips I have done it does feel like it needs another gear. What I'm wondering is, is there another gearbox that will fit the Corrado with different ratios? I know with a 16v golf there was a later gearbox you could fit, so I was wondering if there was one similar for the Corrado? Any help, advice ect is appreciated! Thanks Will Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davidwort 0 Posted February 22, 2016 If I remember rightly the mk3 golf has the longest legged 16v ratios, the 1.8 16v the shortest, I wouldn't use a box from a G60 or diesel though as it just wouldn't suit the 16v, ideally you want a longer 5th added to a standard 16v box Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yandards 0 Posted February 22, 2016 An ASD 5th gear cog is the longest one you will find (its from a MK 3 TDI box) but it only drops the revs by about 250 RPM IIRC. Problem is the final drive, it's quite short on the valvers hence the higher RPM. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
