More than likely the sensors are different, but seeding your box is also hydraulic there should be no real problem in fitting
#3: Re: 180 gearbox fit my 140 gti? Author: DJ-, Location: UKPosted: Sat Jan 01, 2011 3:15 pm ---- The top end would be over 120mph or something? Do you really need this or are you planning on taking your pug on track?!

Even then i wouldnt bother, just change the final drive ratios to see a difference (top end or acceleration)

Shorter gearing is what you need.
#9: Re: 180 gearbox fit my 140 gti? Author: 00budham00, Location: IpsPosted: Sat Jan 01, 2011 4:34 pm ---- yeah but thats the limiter !! just to get 130 @6500rpm i want it to do 120@4500rmp so its chilled not screaming
#10: Re: 180 gearbox fit my 140 gti? Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Sat Jan 01, 2011 4:36 pm ---- That will blunt your acceleration though. Will the car have enough power at 4500 rpm to do 120mph? Do you need to cruise at 120mph?
#11: Re: 180 gearbox fit my 140 gti? Author: 00budham00, Location: IpsPosted: Sat Jan 01, 2011 4:45 pm ---- hence the question . i would like the last gear to rev less but go further
