Jeff13 Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 Am building a car for junior rods at the min its 1.4 16v but was thinking about changing the box as limited to what we can mod and as car will spend most of its life in probably 2nd gear would like to make 2nd as long as possible or change box so that we use 2nd to pull away and use 3rd to race any pointers would be grate thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cj1 Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 There is a list of all 085 gearboxes and their ratios available here; http://workshop-manuals.com/volkswagen/polo-mk3/power_transmission/5-speed_manual_gearbox_085/technical_data/gearbox_identification/code_letters_gearbox_allocation_ratios_capacities/ That will be really useful in deciding if any of the standard gearboxes are of use for what you're after.

Sausage Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 You might find it useful to know the 085 Lupo box is made of chocolate, so having several spare ones will be a necessity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
