Ok i while back I brought a w56 cos it was cheap for my 3tgte conversion. Just want to know what you guys think of them? Is anyone else running one? Are the ratios going to be ok or too low cos its originally a diesel g/box? I read somewhere that the w56 is slightly stronger than a w55 and coming from behind a diesel i thought it would have had a nice life so far?

mate had one in his lucida van, quite a low first gear, so you might as well start off in 2nd :lol:

From what i understand they mainly come out in commercial vehicles, i.e my townace van has a g56 gearbox in it so that'd either be an indication of the exact opposite in this case. Where a tradesman owned van or whatever has had a hard life

There are your ratios. Maybe just find a diff to suit?
