mk2 Posted August 7, 2022 Report Share Posted August 7, 2022 Too much torque... the 6th gear would be too far away from the main casting. Even with a magnesium cap (like with gti), it'd fail. Even the gti 6th gear fails. Thats why everyone changes the ratios. Easier. Cheaper. Simpler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it even be possible to really add 6th gear to 085gearbox? I think it would take at least custom made shafts and cap, 6th gear sprockets, and transformed selector shaft, and in the end it would coast more than Lupo itself.

Also it is important to know your gearbox code, because there are several differential ratios on these gearboxes, which you cant change as easy as 5th speed gears.
