lambo-27 Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 Has anyone here had any experience with an automatic lupo? are the gear boxes good? and failing that, how hard would it be to take the automatic box out and put in a manual one? in a 1.4 non sport.cheers, Adam.

TArosa Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 I havnt had or driven one but any budget auto is not going to be too good along with th fact that when they come up for sale they always have pee-approved finance for everyone guess no one wants them :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DENTOUT Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 Iv had one and it was crap, manual al the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lambo-27 Posted December 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 Hmm ok thanks, I'm guessing the gear box would use all the same connections as a manual box, so shouldn't be too hard once I find a manual box, a manual would be lighter aswell?

DENTOUT Posted December 8, 2012 Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 Well at the spec of a lupo weight dont matter!! I wouldnt bother changing to a manual, its not as simple as you may think! You need, driveshafts, flywheel, clutch, pedal box and selector rods, selector lever, mounting may be different, then you may find the splines for flywheel to crank are different or boltholes dont line up etc, it would be easier to buy a 1.4s manual tbh, I have one for sale!

lambo-27 Posted December 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 Oh yeah, didn't even think of a pedal box and selector rods tbh, is it fantasia green and has less than 70,000 miles by any chance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eduardoteixeira Posted December 8, 2012 Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 I have a Lupo 3l, automatic.It has some issues with automatic gearbox, low pressure...I also have an audi and the automatic gearbox is really better that the lupo one.Nevertheless it's a really fun car to drive even with that slow automatic clutch.
