Has anyone looked at a pinion and crownwheel set made by a company called autogear, it is 17x61 teeth which gives a final drive of 3.59 , it could make a real difference if your running 13inch wheels like me! Thoughts anyone?

VW already did a 3.588 and a 3.600, already two remarkably close ratios to that size (and 3.588 isn't uncommon), in their wide range of 3.333 - 4.267.

But all info is appreciated! In competition 0.002 can count.

61/17=3.588!

I rounded 3.588 to 3.59 :p what pn is a 3.588? couldnt find that ratio on etka without a bolt on crownwheel! also with some further research in to the diesel polo gear boxes i found a few with this final ratio or lower to bring back the natural revs vs speed of older petrol polos with 13inch wheelsn fitted!I think the code was apx if i remember correctly(will have to dig out my notes). Now just gotta go digging round the scrappys with a torch

There are quite a few boxes that use the 3.588 final, mostly fitted to 6n 1.6 8v engines; CWV, DKE and DXH are three gearboxes with that final drive. The CWV is a close ratio while the other two are economy. The CWV was fitted to early 1.6 GLXs before the 16v came along. They are also fitted to the seat ibiza/cordoba/vario of the era and the polo classic/variant. I have a CWV in my green saloon.

I've emailed Chris to see if he can send me the pic

Anyone know the ratios from an 8n gearbox?

Anyone know the ratios from an 8n gearbox?

Same as an AYZ, final drive 4.267

1st 3.455

2nd 1.958

3rd 1.250

4th 0.891

5th 0.740

Cheers Mark, was tempted to use the outputs off a 4 speed as the cups are too big and keep it as a spare 5 speed, or could I fit the diff complete???

Spoke to Chris and due to a saga with ClubGTI which I wont go into, the technical information has been removed, which is a shame.

So if anyone has a list of ratio's and final drives for the 085 series box's, I would be very grateful if they could put them up,

Thanks

Here's alink to some PDF's I posted a while ago http://www.clubpolo.co.uk/forum/index.php?...p;#entry2261603 and this one with the corrections made to the second PDF http://www.clubpolo.co.uk/forum/index.php?...p;#entry2305130

Maybe one of the Mods/Admin could move these PDF's to the original posting??
