Hi all,

Which is better, the type9 or mt 75 gearbox, now have another s7 with an rs2000 engine and rocket 4speed box, would the car perform better with a 5speed box or is there more fun to be had with the 4 speed? As it is its blxxdy mental with an extremely high grin factor

 

Cheers Mark

If its a proper Rocket box ratios may be better than Type 9

What diff are you running?

And WTF does "bixxdy mental" mean in English

 

 

If it is a Rocket box ratios are excellent

You're probably better off as you are up to about 70. Type 9 won't offer anything apart from more relaxed cruising above 70. Depends to some extent on overall drive ratio which factors in diff ratio and wheel/tyre size as well as the box. All the fords are 1:1 in fourth but I'd rather get there with a rocket than a type 9.

ps. Engine power also comes in to the equation. Lower power cars often have lower top speed in 5th than 4th gear. By lower power I mean about 100-110bhp.
