Subject: RE: [alfa] GTV6 transaxle ratios
Hans,
81 transaxles had a 4.10 final ratio.
82-84 had a 3.42 ratio.
All three had the same gear ratios, but none had limited slip diff.
Late 85 and silver Milanos had a 4.10 ratio again, but with a
longer first gear, and they had the newer much better shift
linkage, BUT there's a speedo drive snag that must be
addressed electronically if you're gonna install it in an
earlier GTV6.
It's written up in the Bosch version of the AROC Tech notes.
3.0 Milanos had a 3.54 ratio with limited slip diff.
Platinum Milanos had a 4.10 with limited slip which, combined
with a 3.0 makes a sleeper.
There will be a quiz.
My understanding is that the 3.42 was only sold in '82 and '83 (not '84).
In '84, I was under the impression they went back to the 4.10.

bs
I believe that Brian is correct. I also know that my car has a
4.10:1 final drive, and when I bought the transaxle from APE, I asked
for an '84.
