.4 gearbox change upgrade info - Teeharv - 04-03-2019
Hi, has anyone with the 1.4 meridan changed the gearbox for better acceleration. And does the 106 quicksilver gearbox fit. I was told it would change the ratio and lose top end which I'm not fussed about. Or does anyone have a recommendation on which box would be an upgrade for the standard box.
Cheers Harvey

I fitted a 206 one, more for the reason that the old box was knackered. I think it's got a slightly longer third.
Don't think you'll massively improve a 1.4s acceleration with a shorter box though.

I fitted a slightly later 1.4 one that had a lower final drive which helped somewhat - 4.54 vs the original 4.29 - but mine was a single linkage box, not the late 3 linkage, so my options were pretty limited. It was really only because the box was perfect inside versus looking at many that were half shot.
