Peugeot 206 S16 GTI first gear ratio

[Sidonelis 0]

Good day everyone,

 

I am looking for help regarding a Peugeot 206 s16 GTI from 1999. I know it's not a 205 but it's BE4 gearbox related and from what I've been able to find online, this is the best place to ask for help.

 

As mentioned, I have a 206 S16 GTI from 1999, it's a 2.0 with 99kW of power. The problem I have with the car is the short first gear. I've gathered that a gearbox from a 180GTI would fit right in and could offer a better gear ratio, however, I can't find it anywhere. Are there any other vehicles that came with the same box as gti180 or any alternative approaches to make the first gear longer, such as swapping the cogs from a different gearbox?

 

Many thanks
