The boxes??!!

[Johnno]

lol, a mate of mine is selling a saxo 1.1 gearbox, this fits mine doesnt it? straight on like?, and i read somewhere it will make my car faster, this true? as the ratios are smaller or something?, but anyway, he wants 50quid for it, i dont want to buy it then it not fit,

nice one sax-p :Y:

[boz]

yep they are interchangable.

wont give the car anymore bhp, but will make the acceleration a bit better due to the shorter ratios. but it wont be ferrarri quick :) just a mild difference.

not sure if they are weaker than the vtr/vts boxes or the same??

give it a go ;)

[Johnno]

yeah i understand no more bhp will be added :P.

dont think they would be weaker?? anyone know?.

my box is gone anyway, its whining like mad now, sounds soo rough so i do need a new one!,

is any year box, ok on any year saxo?

[Karl]

I have a 1.1 box in my VTS..

feels as if its in better nick than my old VTS box.

Same ratios too.

[Johnno]

so they ain weaker then?, i suppose top end would suffer than my vtr box though?

[Ruddy]

Think one of my mates with a supercharged VTS has a 1.1 gearbox in his! And he suggested that i get a diesel 1.5 gearbox when mine went as theyre stronger.

[CampDavid]

They are all the same, just a different final drive. No difference in strength etc

[Ruddy]

Just what i was told, i know about as much about car parts as i do about quantum astro-physics

[boz]

i know that when i had me rs turbo, peeps were fitting deisel boxes because they were stronger in fords, not sure if the same applies to the citroen range tho?

[Johnno]

everywhere i read they are all the same strength, think im going to go for this 1.1 box, but top end will be shit, but i dont do 100mph everywhere.

[Sean]

gearsets are different between vts and 1.1 box, also the 1.1 box has a smaller diff than vtr/vts box, but it's a straight fit.

[Johnno]

is that a problem then? diff, i dont really understand the gearbox stuff lol.
