ryanmac 0 Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 Hi allSince I have a spare vr6 gearbox I plan on stripping it and was going to fit either a 3.6 or a 3.9 but I have noticed that you get a 4.2 final drive. Will this work? If a 3.6 is good and a 3.9 even better then surely a 4.2 must be awesome....;-)I realise the gearing will change so it would rev more on the motorway but it is being built for track days and nurburgring trips so is there a 5th gear that I could change in that would bring the cruising revs back down...Hopefully with the lightened flywheel, paddle clutch and peloquin 80% kit that should be the transmission side of my car sorted.Ryan Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 3.68 is what you need. It has a good balance Link to post Share on other sites

v_dubberoon 0 Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 am no expert but 3.68 seems a daily upgrade, 3.9 slightly more extream, 4.2 amazing for track only.....from what ive read 4.2 takes top speed down to around 125.....your choice, personally i think ill go for 3.9 when funds allow Link to post Share on other sites
ryanmac 0 Posted July 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 Luckily I have managed to get hold of two vr gearboxes that require some work and two gearboxes, one with a 4.2 and one with a 3.9 so I plan on building two separate boxes. Link to post Share on other sites
