Hi all,

 

my Felícia pick-up 1.9 the motor are dead i have a 1.6td from golf 2 motor in garagem from my previous car. Can i put the 1.6td? For the gearbox im thinking about from 1.6 petróleo Felícia. It Will fit? How about ratio? I done some highway. 

Felicia gearbox was designed for 140Nm - 1.6TD is close, so it should handle it.

Gearbox depends on ratio you have and one you want to swap, there were different variants.. I'd keep 1.9 one, if it's the one with long gear ratios.

 

There were some 1.9TD conversion and the engine itself fit, problem is with intake manifold, since the engine is designed to be mounted leaning backwards, but in Felicia, it leans to the front, the intake ilends up being too high, so that needs some modifications. I'm not sure what other differences are on the 1.6 engine.

You have any info about the ratios of felicia gearbox?
 

 

Here is some info from the service mnual. 14S was the older type, used until January of 1998 (I'm not sure about exact date). The year of manufacture is marked on the 2nd position of the gearbox number, gearboxes with X, Y, 1-4 are made after 1998, meaning they are likely 14SK. Clear identification is by the shape of the 5th gear cover, you can see it in images below:

 

The differential ratio is on 4th position of the gearbox number, unfortunately there's no distinction between 3.350 and 3.579, both are mareked with number 1 on a 1.9D gearbox. Supposedly pickups used the 3.579 variant, 14SK unified the ratios and it's the shortest variant of all types.

 

 

1.6 petrol in its longest variant used 3,833 fitfth and 0,756 differential ratio, so it's slower than any 1.9D variant.
