petergibs -Could be either tbh from your description but this may help...
(Published in Nov 07)"With immediate effect, for more relaxed motorway driving, the Cup models, as well as the rest of the Clio Renaultsport range, feature taller fifth and sixth gear ratios, raised from 16.1 mph/ 1,000 rpm to 17.1 in fifth and from 18.9 mph/ 1,000 to 20.5 in sixth."
so later box = 20.5 x 4k rpm = 82mph
Earlier Box = 18.9 x 4k rpm = 75.6mph
MT R27 - That sounds low rpm for 70? - If the above is accurate with a longer ratio box at 70 mph you should be:
70 / 0.0205 = 3414.6 rpm
You must've be rolling down a hill! :blink:
But I have a sept 07 car and it seems to have a longer box and no record of it being replaced, so who knows :scared::blink: 3rd is the best gear anyway!!
