   Can I stick a 1.1 or 1.4 gearbox on my VTR engine?
   
   Obviously there is ratio differences but Is there anything else to give me headache with???
   
   Cheers

   just a question i know its probably been asked a million times before but can you use your vtr drive shafts with a 1.1 box ??? or bo you have to canibalise your 1.1 shafts and use vtr cv joints to make it work...???

   I would recommend a new clutch while your at it.
   
   A VTS box is a good all rounder.
