highest ratio 'BC' mk3/4/5 escort gearbox ?
anyone know what model of mk3/4 or even 5 escort had the highest ratio gearbox ?
or are they all the same ?
my TDI estate has plenty of torque but not enough revs so is revving quite high at motorway speeds

The actual gear ratios are the same for the Series 1 and Series 2 gearboxes, the only gear difference is the final drive ratio.
The Series 1 RST had a 4.0:1 final drive and the Series 2 had a 3.8:1 final drive ratio, this is what makes the Series 1 feel better on acceleration and gives the Series 2 better top end speed.

To be honest no, but if you give a search in the forums you will surely get the answer. I know that info cause I recently spoke to one of Bernie's guys for my box
