gti6 gearbox help

[666]

im gona be pulling mr vtr lump out for a rebuild in summer, i want to put a gti6 gearbox in when it goes back in, has anyone fitted one to a saxo if so how hard was it, what parts did you use ie driveshalfts clutch ect

or will it go in with a gti6 engine

[AlexB]

it wont fit mate
youll have issues with steering lock as its such a big box
its the main reason people put a xsara box on the gti-6 engine conversions

the steering lock dosnt worry me just everything else, it fits a 205 and the bays tighter so will one go in

[tweeqd]

it will go in but the lack of lock will make the car dangerous to drive on the road, we can do a BE box conversion for £2000

and a 205 is alot bigger than a saxo

it will be rubbish. Having fitted one to my 205 I can say it worked ok on that, but driving a short ratio 5 speed did the job as well and was 15kg lighter plus i had full lock....

its also no where near as simple as you think either.

its for motorway work so lower revs needed of im selling the saxo

[swampy]

the steering lock dosnt worry me just everything else, it fits a 205 and the bays tighter so will one go in

but the 205 on the whole has a xu serie engine in it

not easy to get to fit amd work on a tu series engine
the pounds it would cost to fit and work will pay for ALOT of miles of petrol

sod it, i will sell the saxo and get a bmw then
