Gearboxes in 1991: which had 5 gears?

All that has to do with the power train, gearbox, clutch, fuels and lubricants, etc. Generally the mechanical side of Formula One.

Gearboxes in 1991: which had 5 gears?

Post

I am trying to find information on F1 gearboxes from 1991. Specifically which teams used only 5 gears.

I have conflicting information that the AGS JH25B and Coloni C4 used 5 gears but elsewhere I am seeing 6.

Can anyone answer this?
F1 car width now 2.0m (same as 1993-1997). Lets go crazy and bring the 2.2m cars back (<1992).

I'd think only a V8 would have the torque for 5 speeds but then these small teams would surely be buying an off the shelf box?

What was available then?
