Be3 1.6 Cti Gearbox Query

Recommended Posts

S@m

Afternoon all,

 

This is a quick and simple question for those in the know;

 

Does the BE3 box in the 1.6 CTI use the same ratios/final drive as the 1.6 GTI box? Basically, are they the same box?

 

 

I have been searching the forum, the ratios spreadsheet and various other places for a day or two and I can't seem to find a definitive answer on the subject, or any kind of answer. I've found nothing to confirm they are the same but equally nothing they confirms they are different. I've found much about the differences between the 1.9 CTI and GTI boxes but nothing regarding the 1.6.

 

Does anyone know?

 

Thanks guys.

As far as I know the 115hp 1.6 GTi and CTi are identical from an engine and 'box point of view.

 

The 1.9 GTi and CTi gearboxes are certainly different with a 3.6 and 3.9 final drive respectively.

I am of this opinion too. You probably found all my 1.9 CTI posts!

Almost, the later BE3's had a different 1st gear which I've never seen documented anywhere

Thanks for the input guys.

 

Looks like i will give the 1.6 CTI box a go, i'll probably be swapping an lsd into it aswell so i'll have a chance to check the FD while i'm at it to confirm.
