205 Gearbox Set Up

Recommended Posts

Anulfo

Touching on some points made by visaGTi man on gearing i wonder if anyone could shed some light on what set up i have? The box was built and fitted a couple of years ago by Total motorsport solutions up in Leeds.At the time the guy put it on rollers and toook some details for me as follows:-

 

 

GEAR RATIOS

1ST 2.920

2ND 1.850

3RD 1.360

4TH 1.068

5TH 0.968

 

DIFF RATIO 3.947

 

This on the road gives speeds at 7,000rpm of :-

 

@7,000rpm 1ST =41MPH

@7,000rpm 2ND =65MPH

@7,000rpm 3RD =88MPH

@7,000rpm 4TH =112MPH

@7,000rpm 5TH =124MPH

It appears to be a standard set up until 5th,just wondered what kind of set up i have and whether i may benefit from changing it a bit?

Are you sure about that 5th? It would be comically and pointlessly close to 4th. the 1.9 0.85:1 5th would make more sense, perhaps 4.42 or similar FDR.
