[Niall]

Does anyone know the ratios for gears 1 to 6 on a 2000 gti6 gearbox?

Cheers

Thanks

[cully]

ive got it down as

Gearbox
Number of Gears 6
Ratios:
1st 2.92
2nd 1.87
3rd 1,.41
4th 1.15
5th 0.95
6th 0.79
Final drive 3.95:1


i sure there were two final drive ratios with a change over date in 1997

[welshpug]

Yes, there is a small difference in the fd used.

[Eeyore]

PFC said the rallye had a better gearbox than the 6. Are we saying that the FD is the difference?

[PartyJas]

Im pretty sure thats wrong. I think the Phase 1 had a different final drive but the Gti-6 and Rallye after phase 1 were the same box and FD.
I am of course open to be shot down in flames here. lol

[RetroPug]

I was under the impression that some time during producing ph.2 cars they changed the final drive as ph.2/3 cars a bit heavier.

Utter bollocks lol

as mentioned, its just a mid 97 change, way before the rallye was built iirc

[Eeyore]

Yes i always thought the later 6 boxes in the rallye and the gti6 were identical!

[cully]

the reason they changed the ratio of the final drive in 97 was the PH1 was lighter than the ph2/3 due to lack of safety systems,
the heavyer ph2/3 needed the changed FD to dring back the lost go, cause of the increased wieght

hi

GTi6 has only 3.95 ( or 4.05 ) and 4.44 FDs?
the pinion is 19?
what about 4.44's pinion ?

tnx

[Alan_M]

Is there a way of identifying the early and later 6 speed gearboxes apart without opening the box up?

I have 3 of them in my garage, and wish to try them in my 205. Just interested in seeing which ones I've got.

[welshpug]

might be the code stamped on them, but if not then its just the doff cover that needs popping off.


Edit - yep Servicebox says -

TA 38 is the 19 x 75.

19X77 - CT 22X19 MARKING TA70 TD43 TAG0 - REAR AXLE HYPOID GEARSET 19 X 77 AND TACHO TORQUE 22X19 SINCE RPO 07431 AND AGE >= 2

tnx

this site says rallye is 4.44 !

[welshpug]

thats wrong.

[mr405]

what about MI16's diff ?
I should change gear shaft ? or only CW and P
I have 19x79 CWP .. can I change only CW to make 4.16 ?

thanks a lot

[welshpug]

no.

you must change the cwp as a matching set, pinion is machined from the shaft, not a separate gear.

also 5 speed shaft is not long enough for 6 speed box, and splines for 3-4 gear vary.

[mr405]

I want to use that for racing car .. max speed is less than 200 then I can use 19x79 or 17x77 with GTi6's gears .. without 6th .

17x77 , 17x81 , 19x79 is available here

have you any idea about weigh of 405's cabin without interior and seats ?

[adam b]

Better off using 5 speed box... It's a lot lighter and you get steering lock.

The 6 box is different from both be 3 and 4. We tried swapping gears about to suit a be4 4.5 final drive I have. Nothing fitted as they have different fitment spline numbers.

[Stef205]

who cares about the ratios of a 6 box its awful box anyway.
