AAZ/gearbox Q!

Post by ELVIS »

read lots of posts recently about gearboxes and how they are compatable with engines ( ie TDi and 'regeared' boxes).
am running a 5 speed 3H and have 195/80 15s fitted. what do you guys think ? got a pretty good final drive and with the higher profile tyres it cant be too far off a 2.1 petrol box ratios .
gonna be a freeway flyer or a freeway fcuk-up ? :D
