Gearbox's dont have Topspeeds just ratios. You would need to know wheel size, tyre ratio, Topgear ratio & Diff ratio. This will be limited by the rev limiter or peak power of the engine.
eg. My car running on 205/50/15 tyres is rev limited (8.3k) to 193.6mph change to 225/40/19 & the rev limit is 218.9mph all on the same box/diff.
You also need the Power to pull to the limiter.
