niall1001 Posted April 26, 2013 Report Posted April 26, 2013 i am wondering if it is possible to fit a 6-speed gearbox to my 2.3 galaxy?? is there any1 out there who has attempted this conversion?? Quote
viperclive Posted April 26, 2013 Report Posted April 26, 2013 Good luck there, I've a mk1 2.3 and would love to do that if possible, I've converted mine to Lpg so another gear would be great for economy, keep in touch if you get any advice. Quote
niall1001 Posted April 27, 2013 Author Report Posted April 27, 2013 tbh,ive found a 6-speed gearbox on ebay and they have said its from a 2.3,but im not 100% that ford actually fitted 1!!! Quote
mrchipz Posted August 19, 2013 Report Posted August 19, 2013 I think the 6 speed box was for the diesel engines only. Apart from compatibility, I think you would find the gear ratio's completely wrong for a petrol engine. Diesels have all their torque low down in the rev range where as petrol engines are the opposite. I would hazard a guess that if you had managed to fit the box, your car would not be drivable because of the low rpm low torque of a petrol engine. Quote
