Title: gearbox change possible? Post by: bellamacchina on September 25, 2011, 09:24:20 PM I saw this question in a car magazine and am interested if somebody knows here the answer? Yes the car is interesting in my opinion and very scarce.I myself should keep it original for sure!!!
Fiat 124 Special T Automatic. Mount a 5 speeder in this car easy possible? Title: Re: gearbox change possible? Post by: Thotos on September 25, 2011, 11:20:17 PM I know someone who had an Auto 124ST and sold it to someone who was changing it to manual. I think it was going to be 5-speed manual but I'll call tomorrow and find out. I need to chase a door hinge anyway and it's the same person I need to speak to ... ;) ;D

Post by: Thotos on September 28, 2011, 02:26:30 PM I spoke to Mark at Italian Race Services (http://italianraceservices.co.uk) and he said that while he has not done it himself, it is possible without too much difficulty as he's seen it done. The biggest problem, as he saw it, is in getting all the required parts. As well as the gearbox, you'll need a flywheel, clutch, clutch cable, manual pedal box (bolts on apparently) propshaft and starter motor as they are different between manual and automatic. The starter motors are fitted on the other side on automatics. He said the conversion he saw used a 132 gearbox.
