I am thinking about changing the 4 spd tranny of my 1982 westy that was
previously converted from a 48 hp 1.5l na Diesel to a 68 hp 1.6l TD.
With the original tranny, i find that the engine really revs too fast on top
gear. I guess it must be running at about 4000-4500 rpm at 60 mph.
Maybe with the 48 hp engine it was ok but with the 68 hp that i have now, i
feel that a lower top gear would be much more "comfortable" for me and the
engine.
What new transmission should i look for?
One from a water cooled engine?
One from a WBX?
Or is it possible to just rebuild my old one with different gear ratios?
Will the 1.6l TD really be able to take a lower gear ratio?
Is there some 5 speeds tranny that i could find?
