If you want the best out of the 1.6 I would try source a f10 5 speed box and take the cluster out of it and make a hybrid so to speak by keeping the crown wheel and pinion wheel from the f13 and use the f10 clusters all in the f13 casing as the f10 won't mate up, it's well worth doing in my opinion and experience
If its not bodged then its not "propper"
