Jumbo's. your help please :)

Postby stripedhemi » Tue Jul 14, 2009 5:21 pm

hey guys, firstly im new here so hello to all!....

ive had many transits over the years and my current one is a 190 high top, been brill for past 5 years, however i want to change it to a newer one...

im looking at jumbo's, i cover quite a few miles but dont carry much weight, so one of my questions is regarding diff ratio's. im interested in buying a 135ps with the 6 speed, im after one with nice ratio's for cruising speed, i do tow at times. been reading thru some of the posts here and i think ive picked up that they all run a decent ratio for this but what about the DRW's??? can anyone shed any light on this please as ive seen a nice DRW at a good price but i'll be keeping it a few years so want to buy the right one ;)


many thanks in advance!!

I may be wrong but I think all six speeds have the same diff ratio

best thing to do is get the reg no. post it up and somone will tell you the ratio :D

ive driven a 135 jumbo 6 speed mk6 (but a srw) and the ratio i think was a 3.77:1 perfect for motorways and with the power it towed better than my 70ps with its 4.56 :lol:
