gearbox change
hi i have a 1.6 diesel van with cs engine and abd gearbox fitted possible problem with box what gearbox would be best to fit if i need to change many thanks dave 

Re: gearbox change
the abd is a petrol box with better /taller gears than you should originally have
the 1.6 engine was lower geared due to its lack of torque .
interesting to see how it drives at the mo ,at least the abd is designed to do more than 50mph( top speed of standard 1.6d)
i doubt you will be able to up the ratios much more without canging the motor!
