Sorry to hijack post...
how hard is the conversion for the getrag 6speed box?
The missus has an st170 and i love that box
(i have a zetec in my s1)...
Basicly you need a ST170 flywheel and clutch, new drive shafts, hydraulic clutch (there is no prevision to go mechanical in the box), inner wing mount, torque reaction mount under the floor and the whole lever assy inc cables. You dont need to cut any metal off the car.

Thanks alot
I take it the drive shafts need to be custom made??
Excuse my lack of knowledge but what is the torque reaction mount? How hard is it to incorporate to a s1?
If there is no need to start chopping away I take it the conversion can be done without needing the car booking into a bodyshop...
sorry for hijacking post *again*
the st170 gearbox holes for the starter motor are differant to the zetec & cvh gearbox ones, but they would work with a bit of modification
