the only gearbox change for a 1.2 8v i'd recomend is if you have a 4 speed f10 box..... get a five speed f10.... | |

^ exactly... with the extra weight of a F16 your wee 1.2 8V will prolly die! There is a reason WHY they cam with an F10, because the F10 makes the most of the wee engine. Seriously i'd say your wasting your time, I think the problem your having is not getting used to the ratio's but getting used to the sheer lack of power... | |

If you're jumping to a 1.6 gearbox, jump to a 1.6 engine as well. | |

They did two F13 boxes - ones CR the other WR (close/wide ratio's). Think the CR is on the SXI models. TBH I'd just get used to your box, a new gear box is going to be quite a bit of work for minimal results out of your wee engine. Just pull the whole lump out and fit a bigger engine if I were you... | |

Im new to the whole idea of messing around with gearboxes and stuff but a) im brave and b) i have a trusty haynes manual. To cut a long story short some fcuker drove into the back of my car nearly writing it off, so have been given a brand spanking new 1.6 fsi golf with 6 gears by the insurance company for a while, problem is i cant get used to driving my car again because the ratios in my gearbox are shite! I've done a search and so far i think ive worked out ive got an f10 gearbox (my corsa is M 95) and the best upgrade for my car would be the f13 out of a 1.2 16v, because the linkage wouldnt need changing and it would match my car better. Am i talking bollox? |
