Just getting used to the new set up and wanna know does this s9b gearbox have high ratios ? I took the car out other day just for a test and went on the m1 for 1 junction n back and realised I was going nearly 4000rpm at 70mph is this normal for these boxes? As I'm sure it's wrong
 
That sounds about right, around 3500 when doing 60-70
 
Bloody it's worse than my gf's corsa 1.2 on motorway, guess it's high on fuel consumption too
 
Ironically thats probably the best box for motorway runs lol
 
As @jesse888 says, it's the best box for motorway miles. It came in the MB6/MC2, not really a performance related car (although it came with the B18C4, LSD box, big brakes etc) so they built it with a long ratio box so it would cruise and give better mpg.
 
Wish there was a 6th gear to go into in my mb6 to cruise even quieter lol
