Q u a i f e - 6 speed options
Transmission
manufacturer Quaife has developed a six-speed conversion for the PG1 gearbox
fitted in the MGF, TF and ZR.
An additional gear allows closer ratios between the gears, thus making it easier
to keep the engine within its powerband. That not only gives you a performance
advantage, it almost makes the car more fun to drive.
These
are the options:
- The simplest conversion kit costs £2975 (ex. VAT) and retains
the standard shift pattern, making ideal for road and occasional track use.
Gear ratios:
1st: 3.125
2nd: 2.143
3rd: 1.640
4th: 1.276
5th: 1.030
6th: 0.861
Final drive ratio:
3.955
-
For £3495, you can have a kit with a dog-leg selector (first gear
is back and to the left), as favoured by racing drivers. This is available with
helical or straight-cut gears and stronger selector forks, making it the choice
for the committed racecar driver.
Gear ratios:
1st: 2.583
2nd: 2.071
3rd: 1.688
4th: 1.412
5th: 1.200
6th: 1.048
Final drive ratio:
3.923 4.214 4.462
- The third option replaces the standard gearshift with a sequential selector,
for superfast changes. This kit costs £4250.
Gear ratios:
1st: 2.583
2nd: 2.071
3rd: 1.688
4th: 1.412
5th: 1.200
6th: 1.048
Final drive ratio:
3.923
