Hi Mike, That'll be very interesting. Keep me posted. I'm just surprised any discussion of this hasn't come up before. The compromise and the impact actually quite obvious. I know it's a novelty to have a 4th gear, but I driven many 4 speed autos over the years and his installation as a direct ZF swap simply doesn't work in the same way as any factory setup.
Even with the BW box you'll obviously still be higher geared top than the 2200 as you have bigger tyres.
Interesting that the 3500 EFi VDP has an even more massive 2.85:1 final drive!
