206 GTI 180 gearbox

[PeterT]

In 2008 I drove it to Mt Gambier at around 90kph all the way. 47mpg. (sorry about the units)

If it’s not on Strava it didn’t happen.

Don't even know what "Strava" is, but that is what I remember happening. Maybe it's downhill?

Hi there folks, this is my first post to the forum, from a quick look it has lots of good information thanks.

I have three Pugs including a 206GTI180, a great little car. But it needs 6 gears- not possible so has anyone fitted a taller 5th gear or is it possible to get one made?

[I also have 306 xsi and about 20 years ago had a taller 5th from a 405 fitted to that and it was a significant improvement.] Any feedback much appreciated! Thanks

Thank you all for all the replies, much appreciated esp. with all that detail - it was more to lower the revs at 100 / 110 - sure the engine will spin at 3,500 all day but wanting it to be a bit more relaxed - I shall see an alternative 5th gear can be fitted. Thanks again and love seeing what cars you all own in your signatures. Thanks DF
