    Default gearbox/engine compatibility....

    Is a 1.2 gearbox closer range than a 1.3? Ive got a 1.2 engine which is tatored and a 110bhp 1.3 which gearbox would give best bottom end but not loose all top end and towndrivingability (if thats even a word, ).
    Ta.

    look on the end of the box - the gearbox code is stamped on there



    u can see the W418 next to the earth strap

    my guess is the 1.3 box will be w418 and the 1.2i box will be w394

    the 1.3 box has closer ratios if this is the case
