whats the difference between the 2 litre gearbox in the sharan and the 2.8 litre gearbox in the sharan?

No, the mounts are different.  Although there might be someone who makes a conversion kit... but I doubt it.\n\nAnd if you put the 2.8L gearbox in a 2.0L, it'll be a dog.  The gears for the 2.8L are longer and the 2.0L engine will have a tough time keeping up.

throw = the distance the gear lever moves inbetween gears, the short shifter reduces the gear change times slightly by reducing the distance you need to move the gear lever.\n\nWill improve acceleration, but all depends on how quickly the driver can press and release the clutch as well as changing gear

i think you may mean 2 stroke and 4 stroke ..basically 2 stroke engines have the oil mixed in with the fuel and 4 stroke have a seperate oil sump like in a car engine 2 stroke are generally a cheaper engine to get repaired  as they are a  more simple design

Those are the platform numbers or models of the cars. For example the LS 430 is model LS and the 430 refers to the engine. In this case it's the 4.3 liter V8. On other models the engines vary like the IS come with either a 2.5 liter V6 (IS 250) or a 3.5 liter V6 (IS 350). The letters don't necessarily stand for anything they are just ID numbers for the model.

I'm not sure what it is that is to be compared, but here are some things to consider:\n\nBelt drives are very flexible as to drive ratios, since it is easier to make a pulley to any diameter, while gears are available in only a fixed number of pitches and diameters.\n\nBelt drives are more limited in maximum torque, since they depend on the friction between belt and pulley, while gears transimit force directly.\n\nOne of the main advantages of belt drives is the flexibility allowed as to the distance between the driver and driven shafts.  The distance between gears is set by the pitch diameter and does not allow for much variance.  Belt drive shafts can be far apart and allow for more variation in separation.\n\nBelt drives are less expensive for large scale systems.  Large pulleys and long belts are cheaper than large gears.\n\nBelt drives are not practical for very small scale (less than 1-2inch) systems or for shafts that need to be very close together.

How many gears do you have?

Not really...\nThe 3.8 is a 6 cylinder, 4.6 is an 8 cylinder motor.\nThe 3.8 supercharger would be the wrong choice for the 4.6

well, there are types of "ton", short,long and metric\n1 ton(short)= 2000 lb = 907 kg\n1 ton(long)= 2240 lb = 1016 kg\n1 ton (metric)= 2204 lb = 1000 kg\neach type is industry specific, it depends what you are weighing and for what purpose.\ni hope that answered your question.

both depending on the type of track you are running on ,,, if its dirt than you wnat 1/2 for better traction, if its all-weather, well they wont even let you use the 1/2 so you have to go with the 3/8...

If you want accelleration you get a higher number gear ratio but it will cruise at a higher rpm on the highway. It will be quicker off the line, but not faster on the highway.\nIf you want a higher top speed you have to use a lower number like 2.19...

All fiero's were mid-engine and rear wheel drive, the 2m4 designation means 2 passenger mid-engine 4 cylinders. The 2M6 was the 6 cylinder variant of the vehicle.

Ok. The 8 speed cassette is wider than the 7 speed one so it wont fit on your freehub.(8 and 9 speed are the same width) You can use the rear mech with your 7 speed set up if you like without having to change the freehub, shifters, cables etc.

200cm < 200dm \n\n200cm = 2m\n200dm= 20m

They're a relative ratio. The rpm is how fast the engine's actually spinning, (revolutions per minute) torque is the amount of force generated by the engine. You could have a 4 cylinder engine, but less torque than a v-8. Also the size of the pistons, etc. \n  A model car engine, being small will produce less torque than a full size motor. Also, a function of the drive train is to transfer the torque to the drive tires. Having horsepower in itself is meaningless. Having a gearing in the drive train that puts the "ponies to the pavement" is what really matters.

are we talking engine parts like block, cam, head, ect....if so try hear.  the second one goes more in depth
