[b]Gearboxes[/b]
With so many people asking questions about them (final drive ratios etc) I thought it would be appropriate to pop it all down in writing on our forum in one place
[b]Car / Engine[/b] MX-3 (K8) & Probe GT (KLDE) [b]Gearbox[/b] G5M-R
Gear Ratios (Input:Output)
1st 3.307:1
2nd 1.833:1
3rd 1.310:1
4th 1.030:1
5th 0.795:1
Final Drive [b]4.388:1[/b]
[b]Car / Engine[/b] MX-6 KL-DE & 626 KL-DE [b]Gearbox[/b] G5M-R
Gear Ratios (Input:Output)
1st 3.307:1
2nd 1.833:1
3rd 1.310:1
4th 1.030:1
5th 0.795:1
Final Drive [b]4.105:1[/b]
These two gearboxes are identical except for the final drive ratio which I have highlighted, this difference should equate to around 250 - 300 rpm in the real world
[b]Car / Engine[/b] MX-6 FS-DE & 626 FS-DE [b]Gearbox[/b]G25M-R
Gear Ratios (Input:Output)
1st 3.307:1
2nd 1.833:1
3rd [b]1.233:1[/b]
4th [b]0.914:1[/b]
5th [b]0.717:1[/b]
Final Drive 4.105:1
In this gearbox you can see that 1st, 2nd and Final drive are all the same as the other boxes, the difference is in 3rd, 4th and 5th. I'm not able to work the difference in rpm by using the 5th gear in the MX-6 V6 gearbox but I would have a good guess that it would be a little lower still.
The G15M-R gearbox is used in the BJ Diesel (RF-MDT) I'm sure as the other gearboxes are interchangeable then it would physically fit onto the V6 but I can't be sure, it does however benefit from a lower final drive ratio so for those of us that want a lower cruising rpm then it would be perfect to swap over the final drive ratios.
I'm pretty sure this will all apply to the BJ sport too as some of the gearboxes are the same
More info will be added pretty soon but bed is calling
The info in this thread is what I have collected over the past year so may not be 100% upto date. Some things may not fit and as I haven't tried everything personally I won't be held responsible for people buying stuff then finding it won't fit
