But a VTS revs higher than a VTR

1.4 106 XSi Gearbox or S2 106 Rallye.

[Reilly]

why a 1.4?? cheers for those 2 aswell, didnt kno about them being able to fit

[Jackman]

The 1.4 is a closer ratio than a 1.6

Pretty sure the 1.6 XSi is the same as a S2 Rallye box.

[Reilly]

oki doki pal. i will bare them in mind defo!

So for a driver wishing to have more relaxed motorway cruising in his VTS either a diesel or VTR gearbox is the better option, as only the 2nd gear has marginal variations between them, they'd both be the same to drive with, but with a drop from 4365rpm(VTS gearbox) to 3765rpm(diesel or VTR gearbox) @85mph(600rpm reduction), if wishing to overtake by dropping down to 4th the engine revs would only be down from 5390rpm(VTS gearbox) to 5038rpm(diesel or VTR gearbox) which should still give good acceleration.
As you probably guessed i'm trying to make higher speed cruising a bit more relaxed in my VTS but still retaining as much of the acceleration as possible in the lower gears, plus my VTS gearbox is fecked!, crunching when i go 5th to 3rd, and baulks going into 2nd and 3rd, which changes to a crunch if done quickly.
My car has done 82000 so new clutch due soon anyway, i'm looking to change gearboxes too, just need someone to say YEP it'll fit and still drive good!

YEP, it'll fit, but it will drive shit. Don't put a VTR box in your VTS for God's sake.

[Toad]

And for the last time... VTS, 106 GTI, S1 Rallye, S2 Rallye, 1.6XSI, all have the same gear ratios, hence neither is shorter or taller than the other. They have different final drives, that's what stands them all apart. The VTR box has different ratios to all of the above, so be bare this in mind.

what about putting a 1.1 saxo gearbox in a vts??? obv it wont match top end, but how much quicker will it make it from the lights and how long is it likely to last, as im contemplating putting a 1.1 box in my vts...

[chriswoodward]

you then cant use vts driveshaft which are sports shafts so the loss in rpm between gears would be a bitch and also you would need a new box every couple of months so not worth it imo

[Phsyco_Paff]

quickshift?

Absolutley pointless pusting a 1.1 box in a vts when theyres literally o.8mph difference, if you want a better box get s1/s2 rallye or XSI box.

Hi i have some tyres sizes here and if you could work out my top speed in 1st 2nd and 3rd gears only that would be great. Standard saxo vtr eng and box tyre sizes 185/65/14 195/60/14

[Junaid]

so a saxo 1.6 vtr will hit 141mph in 5th gear at 6250RPM?
