ok i need some help in the right direction i'm putting a 1600 zetec into my mk5 esco but want to leave the short ration 1.4 cvh b5 box in, for the fun factor i do want to have a higher ratio 5th gear though for motorway and dual carriage ways, can i get a different 5th gear and put it into the box i no the shafts have different spline numbers from the 1.4box to others but wasn't sure about the actual gear box itself
Oooo! and will the box cope with the added stress or am i on a loser, the zetec engine wont be modified much just cone filter and a custom exhaust to give it a pleasant sound and better fuel economy, no big boar exhaust i hate them with a passion![Wall](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/wall.gif)
cheers for any help
