Wow lol... Aug is a short ratio mk2 gas tranny. I sold one the day i wrote that. I meant to say CHD!!
Do some quick math. A 3.67 with a .71 5th is taller than a 3.94 with a .67. I wouldn't want anything that tall because of the jump from 4th to 5th, making for a lot of downshifting and sluggish highway driving.
not true... i run an ACN trans (3.67 & .75) in my car, and i LOVE it..
they came stock behind low power gas engines, and did fine with those as well.
the jump from 4th to 5th is not as big as you would think either..
I think he meant a jump from the 1.13 4th to a .71 5th.. but the .75 5th isn't too bad.
The low powered gas engines were still the same if not more torque than the 1.6TD.

nah, the TD had more grunt, for sure..
and 4th gear is 1:1 in the ACN trannies.
1.6 MF TD;
51 kilowatts (69 PS; 68 bhp) @ 4,500 rpm; 133 newton metres (98 lbf·ft) @ 2,500 rpm -- MF
Even the lowest powered 1.8 single point injected engines had more torque
Same RPM too, it would feel like the same motor.
55 kilowatts (75 PS; 74 bhp) @ 5,000 rpm; 140 newton metres (103 lbf·ft) @ 2,500 rpm — AAM, ANN, DD
The 020's are too short and close for any diesel over 130ft.lbs of torque. I mean unless you are a gas engine and can rev out to 7500. With a high torque diesel you blow through all gears like nothing, and run outta steam fast.
I can shoot from ~1500 (60km/h) in 5th to ~3500 (120km/h) in 5th in the blink of an eye with my ACN.

the GX engine, the one that came in front of the ACN trans, was 85hp, and 92 ft lbs torque, but at 3000 revs..
the TD engine has 68hp, and 98 ft lbs @ 2500 revs
i really disagree with your statement about the 020 trannies, even cars over 130ft lbs can still use an 020 just fine..
not everyone shifts @ 800 RPMs like you do Jer..
i love the way my diesel drives with the ACN trans in it.. ive got 6000 revs to play with tho
not everyone shifts @ 800 RPMs like you do Jer..
LOOOOOOOOOL. If I get on any power at all, I fry my right tire off.

right off the wheel...
im REALLY CONSIDERING swapping back to a smaller turbo..
maybe even back to a *GASP* conventional turbo..
i really miss the way my car drove with the tiny little VNT15..
Small turbo for the win. We drive Diesels, more than 3500 is useless! LMAO
8V Have you add a Peliquin kit yet? Might allow you to zoom all the way up to 1250 RPMs before shifting. I know will wonders never cease?

i dont ever rev it over 3500 unless im merging onto the freeway, or i wanna pass someone..
then ill take it clear til the rollers start skipping..
Added 155x15 tires and now my 55mph rpm is 2450.
What is the profile on these? 40? That is the only way I get close to the RPM stated here.
155's are profile of 80%, (take a tape measure)

even on a 15" wheel?
never heard of a 155/40/15
No...
The size sytem is: (width in mm)/(aspect ratio in %)/(rim diameter)
155 indicates the width in mm for any tire. You can't know the hight (aspect ratio, the number we are looking for) if you only have the width and the rim size. A 155/60/15 is the same width as a 155/80/15, but the 80 is taller than the 60
There should be a middle number.
If I was guessing though, I'd say you have a 155/60/15, which is a common size, which is 22.3" tall.
155/80/13 is the stock size that came on the rabbit, and what I'm running. They are getting hard to find.

isnt that nice of you
math shouldnt lie, in fact a 155/40/15 would seem to be the same total measurement as a 155/80/13, may be so. you can see if profile is an 80 though. a 40 will be distinctly shorter.
