and meant to mention, ive been thinking this for a while, although its proabbly not possible, how amazing would a 5th gear be in a standard box ?!


AFAIK, there is/was a Swiss chap called Eugene Weber who built 5-speed gearboxes using the standard 2cv 'box casing. He would custom build them using the ratios that the customer specified.



Eugene passed away some years ago, son Peter took over.
