5 speed gearbox for 1.0 litre Polo

will any of the polo 5 speed boxes fit the 1050cc Polo 8V engine?

Before anyone says don't bother, it's not a VW application. You'll never guess what it's for

What are you up to now, ya nutter?

 

think porka.net could be the place to ask

 

didnt some of the polo coupes with 1L engines have a 4E box? that counts as 5 speed I guess...

 

The polo square back had the option of a 5-speed not 4+E box, as my sister had one in her 1988 1043cc Squareback. 5th was the same as the 4th in a 4 cog box but with better intermediate ratios so you could shift along quite well.

Should fit - I've done it on a 1.3.

A 1050cc engine won't pull 5th though unless you lighten the car to something like 400kgs....

(What are you up to?)

Yes various 5-speed boxes were available on the Coupe, Boulevard, GT and CL versions of the mk2 and mk3 polo. These should all fit.

Supercharged 1.0 litre perhaps?

Cheers,

Drew.

 

Golf 1.3 box is the same also

 

You will probably need the box with code AFA, AYZ or AHZ with 4,267 final drive. Anything else would be a bit OTT

 

he's probably fitting it to his office chair at work or some other strange pursuit

 

why does everyone think I'm power crazed

thanks for the replies everyone - car is under 400 kilos and not mine infortunately

Prof - nah, wouldn't bother with teh 1 litre on my chair. why do you think i've just picked up ANOTHER 20V turbo
