More Gear Box Questions

[Guest johnty256]

hi in the type of racing i do i only get in to first second and third so i was wondering if some one could give me the ratios for them three gears and final drive for a 1.6 be1 and a 1.6 be3 gearbox so i can look at the difference (i should realy get a haynes manual but you guys are easier to understand )

 

thanks

The gear ratios are the same for the Be1 or BE3 unless you have one of the very rare close ratio boxes but even then there isn't a great deal of difference.

 

The Haynes 205 service & repair manual can be downloaded from m@tt's signature & all the ratios have been listed before on this forum so a search should bring up some results.

I found this calculator very handy and easy to work with :

one quick question do all them boxes listed fit a 1.6 gti or not ?

Any gearbox from an XU engined car (Pug or Citroen, petrol or diesel) should fit straight into a 205 GTI but you might need to change one of the selector arms for it to work.

Some of the codes you can find here : http://www.track-monkey.co.uk/downloads/techgear.xls .. but this doc. isn't complete as there a lot of codes !

 

Only way to check the box might be by reading the numbers stamped on the diff

That'll only tell you the final drive ratio & is in no way any indication of the rest of the gearbox.

 

Only sure fire way is to either get a known gearbox or strip it to count the teeth on the gears & final drive as stamped on the diff.
