6 speed gearbox in 4 cyl t.s.?

[iliasbass]

i was wondering if anyone ever tried to change gearbox from 5 speed to 6 speed in 4 cylinder twin spark engine, i know that replacing gearbox from a gta is not working as it will not have space to the (lower i thing) wishbones...
so we need to find another "donor"
as far as i know only the fiat stilo and fiat doblo came with a 6 speed gearbox (even to the small 1.2 engine)

anyone tried this modiffication?
and if anyone knows what is the torque that this gearbox can handle?

Find a 166 t-spark, use the bell housing off that with the remains of a 6 speed 156 v6 box.

Not saying it'll be straight forward though.

You'd probably need to use 1.9 jtd driveshafts with that combo as well.

you mean that this will ruin the ballance of the car?

No, I mean the depth of the bell housing may differ and need to be compensated for.

There were 166 t/s with 6 speed boxes,just different flywheel/clutch and clutch actuation.
