Title: 3.67 Final drive on a 1.6TD
Post by: burn_your_money on July 03, 2007, 07:53:23 pm: I recently read a post about a guy who had a 3.67 final drive in his 1.6 and absolutly hated it. He said his car was a total dog.

Is anyone running this setup?

I was thinking of getting an ASF and swapping in a 0.71 fifth. I know it's a fairly big jump from 4th to fifth. Ideally I'd love to get a DFP with the .091 fourth but I don't have one in my inventory

Post by: ezekiel on July 04, 2007, 09:26:27 pm: you think that tranny could take a TDI? Not being raced or beat on, but boosting to around 18psi max (probably 8-10 daily) ?

Post by: stewardc on July 05, 2007, 03:33:50 am: My new tranny, for use with the AAZ Torquemonster is a DFP with 3.67 and .71. I'm looking for great things on the top end... :wink:

Post by: burn_your_money on July 05, 2007, 05:03:53 am: The DFP is what I wanted but at $400 I decided to pass and build my own. I think I have 2 extra 0.71 gear sets that I'll sell when I get to that

ezekiel If you aren't doing any sudden torque loading it should be fine. Get a bolt kit for the diff though

Post by: foxracer1 on July 05, 2007, 02:27:53 pm: I have a FN 3.89/ .71 and the N/a would like a little more rpm on the highway around 60-70mph. But if i had a little boost it would pull great. Plus my tires are a little taller than the factory ones.

Post by: rabbit GTI/GTD on July 05, 2007, 04:02:38 pm: I'm running a tranny code CHD, which is a 3.67 final with a .75 fifth, in an MK3 golf with a high mileage 1.6TD, and i dont find it to bad at all, i like the ratio better than the one i had in the jetta the engine came from it was a 3.94 final, with all the same gear ratios 1st through 5th.

Post by: rabbitman on July 05, 2007, 05:38:48 pm: I have an FN tranny with 3.89 final and .71 fifth. With stock tires the motor turns 3000RPM @70MPH. I wonder if a 3.67/.71 in a NA rabbit would be to high geared? You'd have to down shift as soon as the car saw a hill but whats knew? :shock:

Post by: Darth Garry on July 06, 2007, 08:38:08 am: I've been running FN for years, and love it. A nice tall fifth is just what the doctor ordered for my purposes. In N/A it didn't like the hills, but with a turbo it was mint.

I'm running a 3.67 differential with a .71 5th gear in a 1992 1.6 TD. See the post "My 1992 Ecodiesel is done." The car was originally an Ecodiesel (N/A pump) with a 4.25 differential and a .75 5th gear. It was absolutely miserable to drive on the highway. Now, I can comfortably run 75-80 mph. And there's plenty of power to pull the taller gearing around the city. [/i]

Post by: foxracer1 on July 06, 2007, 12:11:30 pm: A friend of mine put his ECO trans behind his gasser and it was a much better match for the gasser powerband. he plans to put a FN with the 3.67 final when his project is completed.

I agree my car would be great with boost h n/a dosen't like the hills.

Post by: jtanguay on July 06, 2007, 08:48:41 pm: ah i cant wait to install my CHE with a 0.71 5th w/3.67 final...

78mph @ 3000rpm! Yesss!! (i know... TDI trannies are so much better, but AHA! it comes with a PELOQUIN!!!)

Post by: Turbinepowered on July 07, 2007, 10:56:49 am: Man, I wish I could get a 3.67 final drive for my front and rear QSW differentials... I can get a .7x fifth gear from a Quattro, but nothing lower than a 3.89 for final drive.
