1.4 box on vtr

[gixxa]

apart from the shorter gear ratios in 1st and 2nd are the 1.4 and vtr box's the same

[Mochachino]

No. Different gear ratio in everygear apart from 2nd. Not sure what the final drive is.

What you say is correct for the early mk1 VTR gearboxes.

what year did they change do you know. Are they longer on the 1.4 compared to the newer r box

[Mochachino]

Not sure on the specfici dates.

Cant rmember off the top of my head, but i think the 1.4 box will be longer than the later vtr box. Check on the articles section on here if its still there, BobC done the guide with the newer vtr box etc

[Mochachino]

yes mate :y: though fittin 1.4 to a vtr box tend to leak oil a lil bit.

so 1.4 shafts leak when in an r box but r shafts work fine in 1.4 box.

[Mochachino]
