1.2 gearbox

[Crayon]

I have a 1.2 with a 4 speed box.
What gear box would i need to change it too a five speed.
And also is it a straight swap?
Thanks all

yes, you need a f10 5 speed, you have a f10 4 speed.

Ok thanks but is it a straight bolt off bolt on job?????????

[ck]

yes, you just need to trim a small piece off the gear stick to allow engagement into 5th. a f13 or f15 will bolt straight on aswell :D

yep f10 5 speed is what you need still have that one here if you want it mate and i can deliver it too

[Stuart]

or an F13 will fit too.... or an F15 for that matter

Is there any gain at all changing the gearbox?

[draper]

its a straight swap matey, simply unbolt the old box and bolt up the new one, or just change the cluster

Is there any gain at all changing the gearbox?

depends what ratios you wind up with etc.. a CR box will improve acceleration, but muller top speed and fuel economy, and vice versa

[rallydak]

which of the two f13 or f15 is the best box for acceleration etc. not worrying abou fuel consumption??

[Crayon]

I would have thought any 5 speed would be better on fuel consumption than a 4 speed

[Jim Mcrae]

All will have dismal acceleration lol

[Stuart]

I've not got my magical spreadsheet here, its on my other work machine. But iirc the F15 and F13CR boxes were nearly identicle in ratios (check sig linky - speed in gear for more info)

for uber spangly accel an F13 with 4.18+ FD fitted would do the trick
