Cue BigT80... Pm him.

I know the gearbox fitted to the 1.8 DZ engined coupe GT is longer geared than the 80Sport DZ gearbox....

I scanned two pages from Haynes manual, you can find here and here.

thanks for that. so my g/box is 013 type as its fitted to a 1.8 carb? how will i find out which code letters go with it, are they stamped on the box?

Can you find the sticker in the boot lid??? It will say something like "DS/gearbox code". DS is your engine code I think. The one in mine was something like DT/1Y I think

If you did not find the sticker in the boot lid, you will find it top of the gearbox, near to engine. It's usually dirty and/or oily.

I didn't know that.......... and I thought I was reasonably clued up with 80 Sports......obviously I must get out more than you do

I've long thought that the Sports could easily pull a slightly higher gear....especially if they have been bored to 1.9 and/or headwork etc

im actually trying to find a gearbox to match up to the 1.8t im installing next year

not sure if the standard little box will cope with 200ish bhp

so im looking for options

Depending on usage. For example, standard B5 1.8 20vtq gearbox can't cope with 300 bhp - in case when between it and engine is sport clutch and driver uses launch control

With standard clutch and without launch control no problems - that's experience of one known ppl. U probably will not have such problem anyway - because u don't have quattro, so excess power will turn one of front wheels into smoke

There is no need for u to install other B2 gearbox except for longer fifth gear. If u want get rid of clutch cable and speedo cable than maybe some B3 gearbox, but I'm not 100% sure how much work is involved to fit B3 gearbox

Although - that would mean gears would flip in different positions. Damn.

the B2 80 GL gearbox has higher gearing, I'd be tempted to try it and see...... if you break it then maybe look at others ( B3 2.2 box ?? )
