Post by andy85th »

Is there a 5 speed gearbox that you can put with a 2.0 cu engine?

What Bigherb is hinting at is there is no advantage in fitting a five speed. I've got one. Final drive is barely any different and 1st (which I stopped using to be honest) takes you about three feet and you're in to 2nd. Stick with what you got. The only time a 5 speed has any advantage is where you change the ratios on 5th but the cost (several hundred pounds for the gear alone) is hardly worth it with the cost of a rebuild on top.
