Will a 1.1 mk1 gearbox fit my 1.4 furio mk2?

18th January 2008, 14:31

Just wondering if a 1.1 gearbox will fit my mk2 furio....thanks

18th January 2008, 14:33

Yes...

18th January 2008, 14:33

Might be a 1ltre tbh....

18th January 2008, 14:35

Still yes!

18th January 2008, 14:36

ah ok cool....i heard they have different gear linkages or sumit....

18th January 2008, 14:46

isit the same box, or will i have different gear ratios etc....

18th January 2008, 14:49

I'm about to put one in my Westcoast..

Will be a big improvement over the 1400 box..Will improve your performance and the ratio's are very similar to the VTS box..

The 1.1 box has a higher final drive which is a good thing if you want less top speed but better acceleration..

18th January 2008, 14:51

106GTI box FTW..

18th January 2008, 14:55

You have to put VT shafts on though which is more money etc..

There is a thread kicking about which shows the gear ratio's of each box, have a search and you will see that the 1.1 box is near enough the same as the VTS one..

18th January 2008, 14:57

will i have ot change drive shafts?

You wont have to change the shafts if you put a 1.1 box on..

If you put a 1.6 box on you will..

18th January 2008, 16:50

Thought the 1.1 boxs cant hack any power

18th January 2008, 16:57

lol

Same diff as is in all the other box's except the 1.6 ones so on a furio will be fine..

Soulless on here has a 1.1 box in his VTS and has had no probs..

Also they are a reasonably popular choice of gearbox believe it or not with the 1400 boys like myself..

thanks...repped...

28th January 2008, 22:38

having this fitted tommorow...just to clarify...a mk1 1.1 gear box will fix my mk2 furio 1.4? thanks

29th January 2008, 08:43

sure will

29th January 2008, 09:34

thats well good, will pm how mine turns out....awaiting the guy to arrive to fit it as we speak....

29th January 2008, 11:33

so let me get this right... If a 1.1 owner was to fit a 1400 gearbox they would notice a lack of power significantly? Or does it not work like that

just a fter a little knowledge

29th January 2008, 11:38

not sure tbh...it goes by the ratios of the box...theres a sticky about them on the forum....i know the 1.1 box has similar ratios to the VTS box...still waiting to have mine done today..he was meant to be hear at 9...its 20 to 12 now

when he gets there tell him he brought the wrong box and that in the time you've had to wait you fitted it yourself

Just kidding hope it gets fitted alright.

29th January 2008, 11:54

29th January 2008, 12:19

Takes the ford world rally team 30mins... tell him that

It should only take at most 2 hours... but I'm no gearbox specialist.

29th January 2008, 12:26

got to take the box off a 1.1 im breaking first, then put it on my 1.4....so its 2 pull-offs and one put-on...3hours maybe?? and it takes citroen wr team 15mins =] but there setup is different...=]

hmmm taking the box off takes the least time it's just fitting it right.

And citroen just attach it via string

they'e doing well this year. Was annoyed that the new scooby wasn't racing would of been interesting (they think it'll thrash the competition next year though)

29th January 2008, 12:42

yeh...they might do...sabastien loab is a true racer.... wouldnt stand a chance next to McRae rest his soal....

29th January 2008, 13:00

tell him to WD40 up the bellhousing mounts on the Furio before taking the 1.1 one off.. This will help speeds things up a bit.

29th January 2008, 13:01

Gearbox replacing is a 4h Book job for a mechanic on a Saxo so im told.

29th January 2008, 13:04

yes but thats ina garage where they take their time to crank the bill up...lol

29th January 2008, 13:53
