just checked my mates G40 he got a ATV box so that's right for the G i think

I reckon it's possible you've both got GT 'boxes on your cars, but for some reason they did your power run in 5th gear. That could also explain the higher drivetrain losses seen on your motor too - your mate's car makes more power at the wheels.

all power runs were done in 4th gear double checked ...

is your GT an original or a conversion? or has it had the box replaced ever?

does it feel like the gap between gears is a little wider than it should be, and it's bogging down slightly when going 1st-2nd, 2nd-3rd? If not then you should be able to live with it happily, and the extra second or so ...

either 8P or CEG, the code is located on the bit of the gearbox thats directly beneath the thermostat housing.

Thanks Gareth just checked and it's CEG that means i have a cl spi box i think is it just the ratios that are different or more, it must be ok strength wise if my mates got the same box ...

all the boxes were five speed been told that that the gt box is the lowest next is the g40 then the spi 13 box

if anyone has a link to the codes and where to find them on the box i'll check (when this rain stops )

to be fair my gt feels pretty quick in 1st 2nd 3rd wheel spins in second if the ...

all the power runs were in forth gear so top speed would be 100 +


Rob
