[alfa] Re: GTV6 vs Milano diff and trans

[George Graves <gmgraves@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The Milano gear ratios are different and depending upon the model, can
be one of several. Some Milano's had 14" wheels, for example, and cars
that came with these have a different final drive ratio than the models
than came with 15" wheels. Be advised the the speedometer sensor for
the Milano is different from the GTV-6, and I have heard that a GTV-6
sensor won't fit the Milano box without modification of the latter.
HOWEVER, if the Transaxel is from a 3.0 Liter Milano Verde, it's worth
all the trouble of converting over and more as the Verde has limited
slip differential. Very desirable.
