james_60 Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Hi What ratio is the 6th gear on a 6 speed box compared to 5th on a 5 speed box for the tdci engines. Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDCiST Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Firstly... I don't know... But secondly, I think the mk2.5 1.6tdci would have been better suited to a 6speed... 4th and 5th seem a little long legged really... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDCiST Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 I think its called quite simply a "B6" gearbox lol... Ill see what google can do lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james_60 Posted December 21, 2011 Author Share Posted December 21, 2011 If a b6 would fit that would be great. (After the ford direct warranty expires first though lol) 2000 rpm at 70mph (the revs are high for a diesel these days) True it really needs a 6th. Since the only tdci available for the mk2.5 was the 1.6 90 or 110 Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james_60 Posted December 26, 2011 Author Share Posted December 26, 2011 I think that should have read 2000 at 60 i think :-( ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stef123 Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 my 2.2tdci 6speed does about 70 at 2000rpm...still delivers about 60mpg on a long motorway run so im happy with it. I had a vw golf the other week for a hire car, 1.4 tsi petrol with the 7 speed box.. 80mph at about 2500rpm lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
