gearbox???

[frizz16]

hi, one question. ive been told ( not to sure if its true) that if you put say a 1.0 or a 1.2 gearbox into a 1.4 engine. that the performance would increase loads at bottom end because of the gear ratio. IS THIS TRUE??? and if it is. what problems is it likely to cause (if any).

thanks x

Depending on the gear ratio's you'd probably get faster acceleration at the loss of top speed. The biggest problem you would find is that it may put too much stress on the gearbox so you'd prob end up blowing it up alot.
