hi folks,

i was wondering if this is a roumour or can the 5th gear actualy be changed?

people say that you can change the 5th gear on MA gearboxes without taking them all apart. just the end case?

i am very mechanicaly minded and have all the tools and workshop to do it.

i heard there were 3 different 5th gear options.

43/33 0,76744
47/32 0,68085
41/35 0,85366

what is the diffrances in these 5th gears??

any help apreciated

cheers

It depends there are 2 versions of how fifth is held in iirc (a mate tried to do this) and youn deed to get both ratios of the same type like
if it is actually possible on both types as I'm not sure

Yes it's true.
There was a time that I was running in my VTS the 33 5th gear.

Does that give a better cruising speed?

Mine is wank. 80mph = 4k. Not efficient at all

I know that with the 33 5th gear I could get more top speed.
On the time I was running the 33 5th gear, my ECU was standard, so the cheapest way to gain top speed was to install that 5th gear.

Yes, buy a 106 Rallye they're much better.
