| Briskodian | roomster 1.9 tdi with a six speed box? Hi this is my first post so please be gentle. I would like to know if it possible to fit a six speed gearbox? Has this been done? if not, why? any info would be much appreciated I haven't looked under the bonnet of the roomster but i can't see why it would not fit. I think with a re-map and coupled to a six speed box it would be a cracking little car (and my large four footed friend would love it). If skoda won't make a VRS roomster I will. Many thanks in advance. |

| Re: roomster 1.9 tdi with a six speed box? Cant see any reason why it wouldn't. You need gearbox, flywheel, clutch, starter motor, driveshafts, mountings, clutch pipe and bolts. |

| Re: roomster 1.9 tdi with a six speed box? Reckon it will add about 30kgs to the front end  and would give you little advantage over the standard boxA Roomy with a RARB will handle better than a standard Fabia VRS so it doesn't need a lot of work. We know the PD 105 maps well so this might be easier than you think. These mods have been done  and there are one or two Vroomsters knocking around...  |

| Re: roomster 1.9 tdi with a six speed box? Why do this change? Got to be an expensive job and you'd no doubt not get your money back on resale. Stick with the OE 5 speed box, IMHO, and invest on tuning other parts

| Briskodian | Re: roomster 1.9 tdi with a six speed box? I'm far from technical, but I'd say some mods of the injectors,turbo, some remapping etc. will give you far more speed than a six-gear. As said, the 1.9TDI-engines are easily chiptuned. Even without added parts. I'm a (lite) member of the TDIClub Nederland. Over there, the same engine in some cars will put out 200 HP or even more. Mine is quite modest compared to that with 136 HP, but this is still sufficient to have other drivers look VERY surprised  |

| Re: roomster 1.9 tdi with a six speed box? I'd go with a remap too. The 5-speed ratios are nicely spaced and lengthed; the reason for the 6-speed was to allow a longer top with the same bottom, spacing and length (and maybe for marketting too). |
