Hahaha just finished the 5 speed conversion - took about 5 days of grafting and swearing but I finally got there!!

First impressions are that the 4 speed type 2 seems way "nippier" than the 5 speed, doesn't seam as fast off the line now - probably due to the extra weight! The plus side is that i just did 110 down the my private motorway at 5.5k!! I think I was doing 60 at 5.5k before!

welcome to the revolution!

Next you'll be wanting a BGH box!(made a huge difference to my car.)

Just 1 forward gear missing now then

BEC FTW

(hides under desk)

what diff are you using? mine is off an auto, which may compensate for the taller 1st gear in the type9.

I think it is something like a 3.62
