[QUOTE="Alex VW Heritage, post: 417950, member: 19109"] I had my box built for me by Pete at Cogbox as at the time we were not Rancho stockists nor was I am employee. The longer fourth and the 4.57 ring and pinion will be great on the motorway but a pain around town as you'll find the 30mph is somewhere between 3rd and 4th and you'll struggle. This is why i think a freeway flyer is the way to go. Taken straight from our website: Rancho T2 ''002 Freeway Flyer'' Gearbox for '68-'71 T2. A standard strength gearbox but fitted with a special high ratio 4.57 Ring&Pinion (same as later 2.0 ''091'' gearbox) to reduce engine RPM at higher speeds. Ideal for early vehicles with performance Type1/2 engine. Supplied with Late Clutch tube so use later clutch. Without ''Ears'' on bellhousing, and short T1/1600 input shaft, for 68-71 models An additional Exchange Surcharge (£350+Vat) is charged at sale which is refunded on return of old unit in rebuildable condition. If you need anything clarifying or more information you can call Heritage and ask for me or email alex@vwheritage.com Thanks Alex [/QUOTE]
