Title: Gearbox Question!
Post by: the-toy-maker on 08 April 2009, 10:07:55
Hi does anyone know if a 2l box will fit on a 2.5 V6 engine?

I know the ratio's wont be the same but will it fit?

Any help would be great!

also a little knowledge on the ratio's wouldnt go a miss!

im guessing if it does fit it will give me better low down grunt but i will
loose top end!

can anyone conferm this for me!

thanks!

Sorry the 2.5 V6 is an auto so will be using the 2l to convert to manual!

Both the 2.0 and 2.5 use the same R25 manual box.

More low down grunt than the auto?  :-/ An R25 is an R25 whether it's in a 2 litre or a 2.5 v6 .....  :-?

So you want to go from a 'auto' to 'manual'.
If so you need more than just the box.

Is it not easier to just buy a manual?  :-/ I've seen loads of 2.5's with 3 pedals for those 'who want to be in control'  ;)  ;)

I see where your coming from :)  the 2.5 ive got is in fantastic condition and i only paid £100 for it with the blown auto box!

i dont mind spending the time converting it to manual as this is going to be an on going project anyway ;)
