Final drive ratio and 6 gear conversions
I was wondering what the final drive ratio of a 2001 aww golf GLS is....and if anyone here has done the eurospec 6th gear conversion. This kit replaces the 5th gear and adds a 6th. there are two different ratios to choose from:
1) 5th =.89 6th=.75
2) 5th =.96 6th=.85
here`s a pic:

you can find it on
http://www.eurospecsport.com
You have to but it through one of their dealers( ECS tuning being one of them), and the list is $1400 which is pricey, but I've seen soem of their stuff sell for a bit under what its listed on their site, but this is an awesome mod. As far as how the top end is affected, this is why i was asking what the 5th gear ratio is on our cars as it is, because then you can calculate what kind of rpms you get at what speed with teh numbers provided.

My problem is, they list this for the o2a, not the o2j. Will it work in our trannies? Another thing is, I don't think I can justify spending $1400 for a conversion that comes with only two gears. I think the quaiffe 6 is like $2k? somebody has got to make this stuff cheaper. Fuel economy isn't worth that much

5th =.89 6th=.75, that could be fun and economical, but still $1400!! I still want to know if it works in the O2J as well as the O2A

I didn't realize that our cars had th o2j. Do they all? also, I for me it wouldn't just be for fuel economy. it'sjust that I find it annoying having the engine turning at 4k rpm at 85 mph. I forsee my car making big power in teh next 2 years, and it won't need to turn that fast.Re: Final drive ratio and 6 gear conversions (kreuzerGOLF18T)

Re: Final drive ratio and 6 gear conversions (MySunRoofWorks)
wow. that is cheap! I'm giving thema call nonetheless to see what's up with the pricing and what they offer. If you can get a complete o2j 6 speed for 2250, i'll just try and unload the tranny I have and buy this one.

Give Tom at ECS a call. He has a complete Eurospec 6 speed tranny with a Quaife ready to be installed. Too much money for me though. I was talking to him about the add on kit. His prices were really good, and as quick as I run out 5th I'd really like to go with a taller 5th or add a 6th.
