Hi, I have a few gearboxes from Fiat Seicento Sportings and Abarth models These look identical on the outside but the Abarth box has a 4.071 final drive Does anyone know how to check that? This is what they look like. I don't where to start   Thanks James |

What is the ratio on the other box? Higher or lower? Put both gearboxes into the same gear,preferably fourth gear ,as it is the gear closest to a one to one ratio. Count how many times you turn the input shaft to get the output shafts where the driveshafts fit in, to turn one full turn. Compare between both gearboxes. Job done.....

Input shaft is the shaft with splines on it,that goes through the clutch plate. Out put shafts are on either side of the gearbox and connect to the front wheels via driveshafts and cv joints. Input start inside the bellhousing

Or put the gearbox codes into google. Any VW gearbox code i put in comes up with examples of applicant vehicles and the ratios.

The codes are the same. The exterior of the boxes is identical

Wouldn't putting it into gear, turning the engine over once and counting the turns on the wheels work this out?

I think that is the same procedure
In my case the gearboxes are off the car
