Polo GTI gearbox strengthening

[h100vw]

This is my car and there are no modifications required other than a small chassis notch and some brackets for the gear cables holder.
You can use stock clutch and slave cylinder.

Easy peasy then....

Couple hours work and you have a 6 speed box in a polo

[Eski]

Re: Polo GTI gearbox strengthening

I contacted sqm and they said if three of us by the gear set it will be $1860 without sending the original gears

Anyone up for a better gearset?

Very interesting... is that landed?

I'd love a longer 5th gear, wonder if there would be a few others in for that (assuming its not a major job to swap - probably is)

Nah it's not should be to bad for shipping and we can ask him to write it under $1000

He has three different types of ratio, personally I want a stronger first gear and a more aggressive 1-3gears

Labour wise it's not as bad as a lsd installation, still couple of hundred dollars

There are 2 400whp + seat Ibiza cupras in South Africa running stock boxes.
Used purely for street and drag racing

Im yet to see a Polo in Aus that has that much HP it needs a gearset !

I did see a VWVortex thread where it was said that you can install a TDI 5th gear while the box was still in. If I come across it I'll link it.

Found it. Check out post 85 on the link below:
VWVortex.com - Catastrophic clutch/transmission failure - need your opinion!

Thanks! Would be cool...

Anyone gone with the TDI 5th gear or a Wavetrac TBD that can comment?? Or even driven a FWD with a Wavetrac on the track and street?

Or even driven a FWD with a Wavetrac on the track and street?

Eddy had a Peloquin which is pretty similar but reckons his Salisbury is far better and just as unobtrusive in normal driving.
Peter Jones has used both the Peloquin and the Wavetrac in his Kamei track car and reckons the Wavetrac is noticably better.
