SiC Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 Hi Been offered a gearbox from a Polo G40 to replace my 2001 VW Lupo 1.4S box (085 ETD code)Will this gearbox fit? Will it be a straight swap? Any issues with clutch? Ratios etc?Any help gratefully received!Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olethalb Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 not without alot of work, 1st thing is it doesn't have the lugs on the diff casing for your cable shift so you'd need to fit an early mk4 polo (6n) rod type gear linkage / lever - 2nd is the distance between the outer edge of each drive shaft flange is about 20- 30mm narrower on the G40 so you'd need to retro fit your driveshaft flange but then the driveshaft seal doesn't fit so you'd have to get a bit of ally turned up to fit in the box and house the appropriate oil seal.Olly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olethalb Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 g40 box code is ATV by the way and is stamped on top of the bellhousing between the two top bellhousing bolts that hold it to the engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiC Posted March 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 Wow, thanks for the detailed response! Appreciate it!So I guess a cheap G40 box isn't that cheap once its made to fit lol!Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olethalb Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 no probs, but depending on how cheap they usually make £250 if it is a genuine ATV so may be worth flogging on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
