the gearbox

Post by Simi »

just wondering, is it not possible to fit a diffirent gearbox rather than the standard gti box, such as one from a diesel polo(or even golf) which would stand up to more torque and hopefully have stronger bearings?

I can get a 6 speed sequential gearbox that would fit but its not cheap

Whats the sequential box from?


It would be possible to fit a Lupo engine and box into the car, but it would require such a silly amount of work...Custom peddlebox with hydraulic clutch master...Subframe/chassis modifications, possibly new halfshafts as well...


Not worth the effort IMHO...

You also need the Lupos engine as its not possible for the 6 speed box to physicaly bolt on to the Polos engine.
