Dodd89 Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Hi guys, I now the mb6 has the same engine as a dc2, just detuned and different gearbox, are the ratios on a dc2 box much different? Would it be worth replacing or is it not very noticeable? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayhoath83 Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Hmm my g/box is supposed to be the s9b but i can shift n keep her above iabs from 1st 2 2nd and all the way up to 5th mabe i got lucky n got a s80 how can i tell for sure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayhoath83 Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Yeah that was the only issue theres no markings where they should be no S9B in big letters or the identity label with the barcode coz they sanded and then resprayed the casing is there any other difference?without taking it apart obviously.

KiNK43 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Nope no really. If it's been painted. There are black letters painted on the case. S9b 4.266 fd you will be at vtec 4.5k at 85mph in 5th.S80 4.4 fd you will be at vtec 4.5k at 80mph in 5th.I can tell you that from personal experience.98 spec s80 has a 4.7 fd and will improve acceleration slightly more.

KiNK43 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Sounds like you got either a s80 or a s4c 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
