Re: mk1 ffz gear ratio
Easiest? Remove the current gearbox and fit another one that has the ratios you want.
Gearbox has to be removed, stripped down, gears swopped out, and put back in the car any ways if the ratios need to be changed. Simplest and easiest way is what I said in the first line.

Re: mk1 ffz gear ratio
You should asked that then.
More info is required before anyone here can give advise.
What car is it?
What gearbox code is in the car now?
What are you expecting from changing gearbox ratios?
What mods have been done to the car engine wise that would prompt a ratio change?

Re: mk1 ffz gear ratio
An FF box is the one you want, I think 1-2-3 is the same as the FFZ but 4 and 5 is longer

Re: mk1 ffz gear ratio
ok currently I have a 1.4i velocity with the stock ffz gear box
I have 2l bottom end with a 2l cross flow cylinder head ( head was completely done by vandelinde ) .
I am using a set of throttles , with a stock FFZ gear box I will get of the line quick but from 3rd gear down it will get lazy so therefore I wanted to change the ratios of the gear box to carry the car over 400 m , I want it to have a decent balance through the gears

Re: mk1 ffz gear ratio
Then call 8v performance when they open again and tell them what you want. They will sort you out with a perfect gearbox
