Gearbox Question - Nathan1305 - 16-09-2015
I've seen a few people go from a gti6 box to the 1.8 16v box. To convert it back to 6 speed is it a case of just putting the 6 box back on or do you have to do more than that?
RE: Gearbox Question - Stef205 - 16-09-2015
your better off going to the xsara vts 5 speed box, as far as im aware its the case of changing the clutch to a xsara push clutch and possibly the cable too.

The car already has a 5 speed on it but if I was to put the 6 speed gearbox back on would it be a case of just changing the box? Or would the clutch have to be changed as well
RE: Gearbox Question - Stef205 - 16-09-2015
youd have to change the clutch.
on a separate note why would you want to stick that box back in its a awful box!

1.8 uses a 200mm push clutch.
gti6 and xsara vts use 215mm pull clutches.
you'd need to swap the clutch arm and bracket, cable, flywheel and clutch.

So may as well keep it a 5 speed then?

Sure it's a 1.8 'box? Not a 2.0 XSi one? Not sure which clutch the XSi's use.

That's what I've been told. It's a gti6 and he put the 1.8 16v 5 speed box on it for track use
RE: Gearbox Question - welshpug - 16-09-2015
Probably has all the gti6 clutch arms fitted then.
if you're getting rid of the 1.8 box I may be interested, if you can post the code off it.

Cool I'll let you know what happens with it

You need to fit the reverse cable as well.

What's your opinion mate. GTi6 with a 5 speed, any good? Or is the 6 speed worth the hassle of reinstalling
