Wasn't that a VW based box that fitted on the end of the block, not underneath like a Mini? :?

Sounds good to me, I like VW boxes- I was a VW/Formula Vee mechanic in a previous life.:)

3.44 diff was in the 998 Clubbys, and the LS too.
And in the Cooper S & Clubby GT before that.

Depends which Rover. Some over there had stupid gearing, like a 998 pulling a 2.76... or trying to! :lol:

Have a look at the tech section of the Hot Bricks SA site. It gives you a good approximation of speeds for revs for a range of diffs and wheel sizes. Would paste it but was too big for page.

The Montego has a VW Golf 4 speed bolted onto the end of the 1275. It is a fairly easy swap for the 5 speed.

Hey Doc, I found a Tempo Matador the other day, ever seen one of them?

Not a Rambler, a Tempo. It is a German light truck with a VW Beetle engine and ....... Front Wheel Drive! :shock: It is a lot like a Kombi with the engine under the front seat!

They were the 998 economy engines. :lol:

Josh... yours would be 3.44 like mine. Thats 3500rpm with those BIG tyres? 3600rpm with your normal run of the mill 12" tyres would be 100kph.
