    Cupra gearbox in cupra r

    I know there is slight differences in each gear ratio but are these differences noticeable when driving? My cupra r box is stuck in 3rd and I need the car so is it worth looking for Another cupra r box or will the 180 cupra box be just as good without noticing much difference ?
