Technical 6 speed gearbox

[Roadpro]

hi, all
has anyone fitted the twin air 6 speed gearbox to the multijet diesel?
2015 cross 4x4, the motor revs quite high at motorway speeds, understand lower gears better for off road .
or maybe aftermarket overdrive.
just thinking.
cheers.

I cant see any advantages to this at all. The 6 speed is for the lower torque TA to improve low speed off road prgress. It does this but in reality is a bit of a pain on the road as 1st is so low. Unless you are going to the north pole I would say its not something that would ahve any beneficial effect. If it was a good idea Fiat would have done this. TA in top seems lower geared than teh MJ in teh fisrt place.

Not sure that it would be feasible since diesel has separate PTO for rear wheel prop shaft whereas 6 speed is integral? Getting alignment with the propshaft centre line might be a challenge? Happy to bow to more informed members!

More interesting might be Abarth 4 pot with 4 wheel drive??? But probably equally impractical without significant engineering capabilities.
