Hi done a search and found the ratios for the diesel boxes. Can anyone give me ratios on the gti boxes please.

Im not sure of them, but I know they are a lot shorter than the diesel box. Top gear comes out at something like 21mph per 1000rpm, whereas the TD is 25.4mph per 1000rpm.
(eg if ur doing 70mph with the TD box, your engine is doing 2750rpm, but with the 6 speed box your doing 3300 rpm)

Hi bad driver. Can you post the ratios here. I was wondering what the difference between a BE3 (which I have) and an ME5K (which I'm supposed to have with my new engine) were?
thanx
