| Post subject: | gearbox ratios - mod |
Hi all I read a couple of things about the BA gearboxes setup. Maybe some of you can confirm/deny/comment on the following : 1. The gear ratio's are very long, which is a waste, as the engine can handle a shorter gear ratio. Apparently the later models had a new gearbox ratio which improved acceleration. 2. Has anyone here shortened/improved the ratio ? Would you have to change anything else on the engine/clutch to accomodate this change ? Have a good one.. |

I forgot to add.... Aparently if you change the final gear ratio, it will change all the other gears as well ... confirm ? |

Im not too sure about this but I read the earlier G series gearboxes had a shorter ratio and are better for acceleration :S |

I haven't pushed it to 72 yet, but it's very close to that ... the problem is a short first and a very long second ... it should be a bit closer so that it "feels" the revs are being used. |

wot are you getting out of first if you give it some..i get about 40 |

I also get 40 ... which is ok I guess, but I also got that with my 1.3 Toyota , the top end in each gear is not the problem , it just takes a long time to get there, from 40 - 70 in second seems like forever .. some guys have shortened the ratio's so that the max is 60 in second, but they are much closer. It's a big and expensive job to change the ratio's. I was just wondering if anyone feels that it is very long, or if it's just me

to be honest even i feel that the gear ratios arent very good, 1st is very good but too short, 2nd is way tooo long and distant from 1st, 3rd and 4th i dont have a problem, 5th could even be longer. |

You all need 18's - that sorts the gearing out
