getrag 240 ratios?

[antony 0]

well my manual conversion is calling, so i'm organising things now, before i go to uni. then ill try get it done first holidays.

my first lil' question (of many) is about the ratios of the manual gear box (trying to figure out if i'll be revving my guts out at 100kph).

the gearbox is out of pre-facelift 320i. i think it was an 86/87?

the gearbox is a getrag 240?

i've done a little research and two ratios have popped up. which one will it be?

i)

1st: 3.764

2nd: 2.325

3rd: 1.612

4th: 1.229

5th: 1.000

ii)

1st: 3.72

2nd: 2.02

3rd: 1.32

4th: 1.00

5th: 0.81

cheers
