pro3mark Posted June 26, 2010 Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 As far as i'm aware a Lupo Sport box will fit, and has short ratios.Probably won't find one though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hundreds and hundreds of people have been ripped off by these eBay 'Sports clutches'. They receive the clutch, all looks good. Positive feedback is left...However, the true story is that these companies are quite literally buying in cheap reconditioned clutches and painting them Red/Yellow and re-branding them!It'll be no better than a standard clutch!
