I'm currently building a 4wd leon and i need to buy a gearbox for the 4wd conversion....and i have a couple of questions.
Does anybody know if tdi gearboxes fit the 1.8t blocks ? The reason im thinking of this is purely down to the higher ratio's that tdi's normally have.
I don't want to build a engine with a power band of say 4000 - 7500rpm and then put a gearbox in that when i change gear the rpms go from 7500rpm to 6000rpm it seems like wasted power.
Anybody have any graphs on rpm - engine speeds for different gearboxes or have a clue / formula on how to work out what a the ratios mean ?
Thanks,
Graham.
