Gearbox Query..

Hey guys, just after some advice.

Polo is on 59k now so im starting to get very nervous about the gearbox. I was just having a look round the other day at recon prices etc and found that some Lupo GTIs came with 6 speed boxes. I know (or think) that they came with the same engines, so could this go into a Polo with out too much trouble? I cant find anyone else on here that has done it, just wondered if this for any reason?

Thanks!

Tom.

Am afraid the Lupo Box wont fit into the Polo for a number of reasons, one reason being that the Lupo has a Hydraulic clutch and the Polo has cable clutch. Secondly, i dont think they actually fit the Polo engine anyhow.

Recon gearboxes are part of the Polo experience i am afraid...My advice to anyone who has a Polo Gti, start saving early to avoid shock cash falls lol

The gearbox issue is the main reason i think Polos are silly cheap in comparison to Lupos, because apart from the Gearbox they are superior cars by far, maybe not as quirky looking but certainly more quality

Rebuilt box with uprated internals and a LSD and you will never have to worry again! :wink:
