ABN 5 Speed Gearbox mate to a 2.0 petrol CU?
Posted: 24 Oct 2014, 12:05
Hi all
Probably should have done a little more research before purchasing an ABN 5 speed box and linkages to fit to my CU engine!
I understand the top gear ratio / final drive is a little lower (about 5% overall), but brand new tyres should make up this difference, or higher profile / larger diameter etc. What i find really frustrating with my DK box (which needs a rebuild!!), is that the jump from 2nd to 3rd and then 3rd to 4th is toooo big. Yes, once in 4th it is great, until you get to a steep motorway hill when it won't pull and you have to screem it in 3rd or give in and pull up the hill at 40-45 mph in 3rd!!
Question I have is will it fit!! What mods would I have to do to get it fit (other than change the linkages)?
Many thanks
