Could Do That But Got Told MK 1 Box Is Hardier
??
That box uses the same internals as the 1.2 16v (some different chassis numbers have a different ratio 3rd gear) and the final drive is very slightly lower. Because the 55 has only 53 bhp, thats 33 less than a sporting of the same era. The final drive has been known to fail on the 1.2 16v as the final drive experiences extra stress from the extra power. I should know, we've broke 2 of those boxes here, the epicyplic gears in mine broke away, working inside the box and made bits of the gears as well as the bell housing and clutch. What a mess that was to clean up

however that was an extreme case scenario, most wont drive atall if failed... So the lesson here is don't be fooled by that advice yer man told you!!
Can Someone Please Give Me A List Of What Gearboxes That They Know For Certain Will Fit My W Plate 1.2 8v Mk 2 Punto,So I Can Place An Ad On My Locals
Cheers Peeps
Bravo/a 1.2 16v
Any 1.2 mk 2 Punto
I think the stilo 1.2/1.4 will also fit
Try to source a 6 speed Punto sporting box, low range and a high top gear for economy
