Sullading Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 I was wondering would it be possible to swap 5th out of a diesel gear box such as a 1.7 sdi gear box and install the 5th gear into my 5 speed lupo gti gearbox so I can have a longer 5th gear? I haven't seen anyone else post about it so I'm wondering if it is possible to swap or is there another way around it??? Would be great if someone could get bavk with a answer, cheers.

Pete Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 Just fit a 6 speed box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sullading Posted January 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 Yes I could but 6th gear is the same ratio as 5th in a 5 speed box because the six speed box has slightly smaller ratios than the 5speed so I'd just be back at square one again...

Pete Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 Why would that be square one? What exactly are you trying to achieve? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sullading Posted January 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 I need a longer 5th gear because there engine I'm building will hit the limiter in 5th in no time, so I was wondering if I could take 5th out of a diesel gear box and out it into my lupo gti box so I can have a taller 5th gear so I can achieve a higher top speed.

Rich Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 You're going about this the wrong way.TDI lupo is a 02j box so none of it is a straight fit.Start looking at roccos with the 02t box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
