So f*cked off right now.
Gearbox plans are going on the shelf for many reasons.
I had been planning on building a GTi6 box with HDi 3-5 becoming 4-6 in the 6spd with a 206 ECO final drive giving me 6 well stacked ratios that wouldn't drop off boost between gear changes and up the top speed (at 4500) from 130mph to 145mph.
Anyway the "Eco" box I have isn't an ECO box even though I was told it was and paid the price because of this. But the crown wheel on the diff is clearly stamped with the wrong ratio and I counted the teeth to double check. Don't know if this is me being deliberately mislead or of the car it apparently came off has had a new box at some point. Not gonna get my money back either cos although I made sure I got a receipt (just in case something like this happened) it only says "206 HDi gearbox"
So anyway I know what I need to order off service box to be able to rebuild a standard final drive to the ECO spec and its probably cheaper and easier than finding another Eco box.
Anyway went to crack on with raping gears out the 206 box as a practice for taking boxes apart and it needs some funky tools to undo the nuts on the end of the box shafts that I don't have and cant adapt. Gonna drill those tomorrow and finish raping it apart as I reckon I could use it to make a half decent (but small) wood burning stove for my garage.
The boxes are just full of split pins and circlips and stuff thats impossible to get to so would be an utter lady garden to rebuild anyway.
