Does anyone know where I can find out which gear ratios were fitted to the various type 9 gearboxes?

Cheers

Thanks Guys,

I should have looked a bit harder!

It seems the close ratio box (for V6)has a taller 1st gear (3.36) which is what I wanted to know

Cheers

don't forget the v6 gearbox has a longer input shaft (by about an inch) so needs either a spacer (ala caterham) or an expensive modified input shaft or an angle grinder taken to in (thats a joke!)

Also, the input shaft is stronger as it has an extra bearing or something on the v6.
