Doesnt the Abarth share the box from the 1.9 diesels, when I drove one I seem to remember reverse being in the "diesel" position? Its just a shame these things have to happen, I havent ever owned a car that hasnt suffered from some particular "common problems" they all have but these do seem to have rather alot of them.

Yes my point is that the Abarth with 180 ish bhp or whatever it is uses a box from the diesel as even the tougher 5spd one from the tjet may not be enough, the problem I have with it all is why have so many different ones for different power outputs and engine types, if they have tougher ones why not just use them on all the cars? Gone are the days of 1 or 2 gearboxes with different gearsets capable of taking the full range of 65bhp to 180bhp....silly

The SS uses the same box as a normal abarth. The reason it doesnt use a Tjet box is because again the ratios are different. You could stick a Tjet box on an abarth if you wanted just when crusing in 5th you would be sitting at over 3000rpm @ 70mph.

For example Ford only ever used the IB5 box on the MK3 fiesta 5spd, yet that had outputs of about 50bhp petrols, through Diesels, upto RS turbos or whatever the really fast ones were, all the same box, just different ratios. I think I have enough understanding of how cars work to know about gear ratios between petrols and diesels thankyou! Maybe I should have said basic gearbox structure minus gearset to make myself clearer

Posts: 821 Thanks: 30 Trader Rating: 0 ![]() | Re: G/Punto 1.4 Sporting Needs 3rd Gearbox - Opinions Please! Cool thanks for clearing that up! So what we are seeing is that the OPs gearbox is a 6spd version of the gearboxes that are known to sometimes give issues in the 1.2s with 17s etc on them. Well the Sporting comes with (heavy) 17s as standard, so with more power its fair to assume that they may be more prone to damage as I cant imagine the final drive/driveshafts etc are all that much beefier let alone the actual gears.
