i desperately need to know the gear ratios for a 1.8i m10 gearbox.

if somone has them or can put me on to a site which will it would be a big help as i need to swap my gearbox sharpish!

i have the serial number if it is needed.

i could also do with knowing if a 1.6i m40 box will fit my 1.8i m10, cheers :mad:

I believe all the 4 pot 'boxes to be the same....

1st 3.72
2nd 2.02
3rd 1.32
4th 1.00
5th 0.81

Reverse 3.45

All the above is true assuming a manual gearbox :D
