Leadership Team Shortshift Posted June 17, 2019 Leadership Team Share Posted June 17, 2019 Tired of looking online without success...Can anyone advise the ratios as used in the Mazda 5-speed boxes, please? I assume the same ratio set is used across the Caterham range (wherever a Mazda box is specified).ThanksJames Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leadership Team Shortshift Posted June 17, 2019 Author Leadership Team Share Posted June 17, 2019 Thanks Jonathan. I had been looking online (generally, using Google) as well as on here using the standard search function.Anyway, in case it helps others who might pick-up on this thread, here's the information as provided by Marcus (many thanks!) and lifted from his post:"I see from another post that the Mazda 5 speed ratios are: Ratios 1st 3.136 2nd 1.888 3rd 1.330 4th 1.000 5th 0.814"James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leadership Team Shortshift Posted June 17, 2019 Author Leadership Team Share Posted June 17, 2019 And, in particular, this link to an interview with Simon Lambert (Lowflying article from 2015) provides the Mazda data as well as further useful information: Lowflying gearbox article - 2015James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative Golf Juliet Tango Posted June 17, 2019 Area Representative Share Posted June 17, 2019 JamesI was about to check the archive for you. That article does have quite lot of information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leadership Team Shortshift Posted June 17, 2019 Author Leadership Team Share Posted June 17, 2019 Thanks Stephen! Funny thing is, I can often remember having seen a good article like this in Lowflying which is usually a prequel to me going to have a good rummage around in the upstairs bedroom (err...whoops!) - and then getting distracted and ending up spending hours reading through the old Lf back-copies. But I have to say - I had no recollection of this particular interview at all.Many thanks to all.James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Jonathan Kay Posted June 17, 2019 Member Share Posted June 17, 2019 Very valuable work on the LF archives. Thanks again.The search in #2 above gives that article as the third or fourth hit. But I don't (yet) know if Google is systematically crawling the LF archives as well as the BC archives... Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
