read the code off the end...

[nova_rally]

1) it may or may not be CR
2) it definitely doesn't have 4.18 final. It's 3.94.

no they have dont have 4.18 i found an f10 yesterday out of a 1.2i with a 4.18 so that will be going in my cr box.. :wink:

[Ste_Nova]

i'm gonna go an photo my mk2 1.4sr 91 box end to see the spec

[mikeyredtop]

ive got 2 boxes out and can only find circular codes which dont mean much

[Ste_Nova]

32913C394

so mine works out at

Bochum - Day 329 - 1991 - 3 Close - 3.94 Final

[mikeyredtop]

i think a have to assume mine is a cr

[Ste_Nova]

i'll do my f20 and my f10w when it's not raining

[Ste_Nova]

i think a have to assume mine is a cr

i had to clean mine with sandpaper and thinners... and even then it was hard to read dur to really light stamping

[mikeyredtop]

if u can get a pic ide love to know axactly where to look.. as ive got an f13 and a f10 but have no idae what ratios unless i stipp and count teeth..

the guy with the cr box says the part number is 90334344, but this dont agree wtih wat ste said.

so i guess he is looking at the wrong number

can you tell from the part number the final drive and is it is cr?

cheers

i tried typing in thr part no. which is on the top of the box an epc but nowt came up..

[Barn]

agree it is hard to find even when you have the gearbox in front of you i.e. not on the car and know where to look

[Stuart]

yeah, ist a hard number to find, but once you knwo where to look, and where to spray the carb cleaner to get the crap off to read it.
its fine :D

[mikeyredtop]

just checked my 3 gearboxes ive a w with 4.18, w with 3.74 and c with 3.94..
i shall be mixin em up when this bad weather resides

Well done Ste for taking a picture of the code. That's exactly what you have to look for, Evry1. You'll have to rub it with sandpaper to see it. If your code says C its close ratio - if its says W its not. End of story (unless somebody's changed the gears!)

My old 1.3SR says W418 (W/R, 4.18 final drive). My new box which supposedly came from a Corsa SXi (dunno) says C394 (C/R, 3.94 f.d).

With the close box the revs hardly drop between 3rd and 4th. In 5th the engines does about 3500 revs at 70mph

Well done Ste for taking a picture of the code.

WASN'T EXACTLY HARD!
