Ciao Familia!
Searching across the internet I stumbled upon Lancia Thesis which I knew that has the same 2.4 gasoline engine as Stilo GT/Abarth, but, for my surprise, I also found out that it featured 6 speed manual gearbox! That's the thing I crave the most in my GT because most of my drives are the highways and such and while Stilo can easily reach its top speed, the revs seems way to high to keep the speed on the highway without breaking my heart over constant 4-5k RPMs.
I think (but I may be wrong badly) that both gearboxes are the C530 but simply modified variants of it and I was wondering how much of a hassle could putting this box in Stilo be?
Some could say that I should stop thinking about it and start looking for the Coupe 6spd box but man, these are rare in here (if not everywhere these days) and we have quite lots of Thesis' in Poland so that would be way, way cheaper.
Any input is highly appreciated
Little update - Stilo GT has C530.50.31 gearbox, while Lancia Thesis C530 6m + rev which says nothing particular to me.
