Is this a joke :S the six in GTi-6 stands for six speed box. So ide assume the 6 speed is better |

Not much in it really, but ¾/5 in the 6 box is lush when you are on it. I don't miss having 6 gears tbh. ________________________________________ Nothing to see here |

my 5 speed ZX 16v used to keep up with a Rallye quite well  top gear is about 150 rpm lower in the 6 speed unit, 1st and 2nd are near identical, as mentioner, 3-4-5 are pretty nice in the 6 speed unit, but I love being able to turn right  also they are stronger in 3-4th as the teeth are deeper. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

Time changing gear kind of negates the point of having 6 speed against the same engine and gearbox combo. Wish I had a decent length 5th in the current gearbox. 70 @ 3k - it should be 2-2.5k I think. Then again George doesn't need to be doing 180 in a 205 ________________________________________ Nothing to see here |

Having tried both on a gti 6 engine I would say the 6 speed is much better suited to the engine for road use Imo. Track use maybe different ________________________________________ Ryan |

I know it's a different engine, but my S16 was transformed once I had the Gti6 gearbox fitted  ________________________________________ For all your Peugeot needs PugRacing.comGti S16 199bhp 164 ft lbs torques! |

Before I got my GTi6 I had a series 1 XSi. The five-speed in the XSi was alright. First was too short and fifth was a little too tall. The 6's six is nicer to use and better matches it's engine. I'd have first and second a wee bit shorter but nothing to write home about. |
