capper mk3 1600 on a type 9???

[vibrating_Cake]

as title says... did any 1600 mk3 capper come with a type 9 (5 speed) gearbox.

 

As im deciding on wether to replace my diff with a 1.6's diff to bring the gearing down a little.... but if i do that my speedo will be rather innacurate?

 

so, did any 1600 cappers run a type 9 box, so i can get a correct sized speedo drive so my speedo stays correct with the 1600 diff?

1.6 lasers did but no idea if they ran the same diff as a 4speed car?

somone will know in a while

1600 lasers had a five speed and a 3.7 (ish cos I can't remember exactly) diff.

3.7 is a lot better than a 3.44 though!!!

 

i hate tracking it and only using 4th when im hitting triple figures on the speedo!!!!!!!

Yes they come with the type 9 5 speed box. 2L ratio is 3.44:1, 1.6L ratio is 3.77:1.

 

With a 1.6L diff, you'll be doing around 3300RPM @ true 70MPH. It does improve acceleration and if the 36MPG I got out of mine is anything to go by, it doesn't harm fuel economy at all.
