Is it true - Willo - 09-12-2012
That the gti-6 6 speed box fits these as I've been told it will
RE: Is it true - Curt - 09-12-2012
Yes, but the ratios are far too short for normal use. Depends what you want it for... Economy, then no.
RE: Is it true - Just Sean - 09-12-2012
Even with 6th gear?
Surprising!
RE: Is it true - Curt - 09-12-2012
It's a close ration box... the 6th gear is no longer, they're just closer together
RE: Is it true - Anton - 09-12-2012
6th at governor is about 105
RE: Is it true - Ruan - 09-12-2012
Yep, tried and tested.
And I turned the gearbox oil silver in 2000 miles, the diffs in them apparently don't like 300+lbft torque... And made the synchro on 3rd disappear...
And 3700rpm ish at 70mph... And a 105mph limit at around 5300 if you're govmodded... Trust me, if you do ANY more than 10 minutes a month at 60+, you'll want rid of it.
Just because they're 6 speed, they aren't any longer, they're actually shorter overall than most of the 5 speed boxes!

Or you can try a 405td box as its sposed to be a good compromise between the Hdi and 306 Dtub box
RE: Is it true - spike2002 - 10-12-2012
I have a hdi box if you are interested £40

an hdi box would defiantly be your best bet if you want good economy, ive always felt that for a big family car, i.e long distance motorway cruising etc, the 405 gear box could do with a much longer 5th, just seems to run out of puff a bit quick, always think it would be so much better with a really long 5th or a 6th gear. just a shame that 6 speed dervs didnt really exist until about 2003 so not much chance of getting a 6 speed derv box to fit an old xud
RE: Is it true - Willo - 10-12-2012
I just wondered cos me old man has a ford galaxy diesel with a 6 speed box and its great at motorway speeds
RE: Is it true - Kwik - 10-12-2012
if you changed to an hydraulic clutch i'm sure the 6 speed dervs use a be3 housing. they certainly look similar
RE: Is it true - Ruan - 10-12-2012
Nothing like sadly, they're an ML series box, you'd have to adjust the subframe, bulkhead and chassis leg to fit.... And it's hydro clutch...
