does anyone know if it is possible to swap the 406 V6 manual gearbox for a 2.5td manual gearbox?
i wish to improve the gearing on my car to gain a higher top speed.
would it be better to switch to the automatic gearbox?
which gearbox has the longest final drive?
and which is the easiest to swap?
i am in germany for the forseable future and higher top speed is more important than acceleration (which i have plenty of)
grateful for any comments

diesel engined cars run at lower revs, but they still have to achieve a similar top speed. so if you attach a higher revving engine to a diesel gearbox the theory is that you will gain a great deal in top speed. the gearbox should easily handle the power as a comparable sized diesel engine gives much more torque.
the question is: will it fit?
