SIX GEARS ON 182

[182 Clio]

Does the 182 need 6 speeds, do you feel?

Or do the five fitted do the job just fine?

Views please!

6 would have been good, but there is no way enough room under the bonnet.

 

[182 Clio]

Six gears takes a lot more room up?

 

[Lee]

That was the excuse Peugeot used for the lack of streering lock in one direction on the GTi-6 so I can only assume it must. Either that or they lied. LOL

But a 6th cog would be nice.

Its true, the gearbox is larger, so restricted steering lock, my CTR is the same although my 306 was worse...

Doesnt need them as such, but Ive had two cars with a 6 speed box and it does help...

I used to look like an absolute arse every morning trying to park the 6.

the steering lock on the 182 is bad enough as it is, but I would like a sixth cruising gear every now and again on a long motorway journey

Noooo, you dont want a soft namby pamby cruising gear, you want a 6th cog which is the same as your current 5th, then the rest of the box can be more closely packed. Thats how Peugeot did it and it worked very, very well.

The 6th on my CTR is about the same as 5th on the Cup, the 306 was similar too, they aint cruising gears...

oh right okay then, I just thought it would help on the old fuel bills, some of us arent getting 480 imiles out of a tank like tommy boy!

 

[Lee]

I reckon he had god on his side that day!! I dont think I have the will power to drive in such as way as to save that much fuel.

That 6th would be lovely too drop the revs on the Mway.

Yep, got to agree with that, long motorway journeys do my head in sometimes. Would help on the old fuel consumption too.
