Which gearbox?

[nathan_570]

Hi, need a new gearbox for my saxo VTR, is it best to get one from ebay as there are some that are cheap (£70) or to get a reconditioned one which i heard would be between £300-£400 and if so does anyone know where to get one reconditioned? thanks.

Get a 1.1 box mate :)

1.1 all day long, 5speed though, not 4!

Does the 1.1 box really make that much difference on acceleration, and i heard they dnt last long in vtr/s

[saxova]

been covered millions of time's :P yea they do have a noticeable difference. And they aren't as weak as people say. Mines been on 20k+ miles and 'driven hard' (like that gibbo?) and it's still perfect.

might have to consider a 1.1 box myself or a vts 1

[Slugshead]

1.1 or 1.4 xsi

[e8_pqck]

vts is longer than 1.1, go 1.1!!

[Slugshead]

and vtr is the longest

Yerr vtr ones are good for the turbo saxo's. But as i already said and other people said 1.1 box, i need to replace mine grinds in 1st 2nd and starting to in 3rd :(

i have my 1.1 box on my 16v and it really shifts mate. i get 30 in first, 60 in second, 85 in third, 105 in forth, and 120 flat out in fith. not a lot of top end but its rapid getting to it
