Daily use, what sort of daily use?

If you commute 50 miles to work on the motorway a 1.6 box may not be ideal.

1.9 is a very comfortable box, but I'm swapping mine for a 1.6 unit as I don't use the car.

    So I can use my 1.9 box with no problems. Is it best to use the standard clutch?

    You'll need a Mi16 clutch.

    Does fit. But the turning circle is laughable.
