Is there one about? Wouldnt mind having 6 gears......

Is it a case of just changing the gearbox mount? What is actually involved, lets say to put it onto/into my 1.2spi shell, with my 20xe (homemade mount, lowered engine mount that is not a kit)

The gearbox mount needs cutting off, and a new one welding on in a different place on the chassis.
The box needs converting to 2wd too.
And it weighs more.

Pointless on a xe tbh.

agree with Ad here, its totally pointless unless you have a turbo.

Also need to lower the tie bars on the front crossmember and run them underneath the control arms at the wheel end to clear the gearbox.
