StuF215 1 1 Cars Posted March 11, 2008 Hi I want to fit the Mi16 4.4 FD into my 1.9 be3 box. Im sure the ratios are the same in the S16 box with 4.4 FD but can I use the crown wheel and pinion with my be3 1.9 gti gear set and casing? Is it a straight swap? Would have thought it would be ok can anyone tell me otherwise. Just wanted to check first before making any purchases! Thanks Stu Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miles 331 1 Cars Posted March 11, 2008 All of the BE 5 speed CWP's are the same, if you;ve got the 16v casing I would use that as it's stiffer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Will check fitment of d'shafts first though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miles 331 1 Cars Posted March 12, 2008 It's not really, the case is but it's the sun and planet gears that are the weak link, you'll need the 306 inner shaft for the diff to fit too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
