Hi folks,
I am searching for a stock Abarth gearbox for my 1998 Fiat 600.
Looking forward for offers.

Thanks, Jozek

Is it the same with the 600s??? How can you fit it to the car???

Well where do I start.  The problem with the standard transaxle is that it has too high a final drive and there is a large hole between 3rd and 4th gear.

Abarth made 4 speed and 5 speed transaxles.  A ggod combination is a 4 speed close ratio gearset and a 9.39 ring and pinion.  You can retrofit these parts to a standard Fiat transaxle for probably around US$2000 or less.  This will give you good top speed and get rid of the hole in the ratios.

Of course a five speed is great.  There is th original Abarth  box (only used or abused available) and it will likely set you back from US$3000-5000 dollars plus rebuild costs.

Then there is the Collotti box.  OK but VER EXPENSIVE.

Then there is an Italian maker of a 5 speed at around US$4000

Note: Both of these will require minor body mods and shift linkages to be reworked.

Finally you can do as I did and graft a Punto front wheel drive 6 speed gearbox to the differential of the standard Fiat 600 transaxle.  All you need is the parts, a damn good machinist and about US$3000

Hope this helps.

I posted earlier about making a conversion to a 6 speed Ounto gearbox in a 600 chassis.  This is a major undertaking.

The problems with the standard gearbox is that there is a large hole ibetween 3rd and 4th gear. also, the 4.88 final drive does not let you use the benefits of the 1050 power curve for additional top end speed.
So I now have an easier and less expensive solution.  Scuderia Topolino now has available a 4 speed close ratio gearset and a matching 4.33 final drive.  This get rid of the large step between 3rd and 4th gears, puts 2nd gear a bit closer to 3rd and when combined with the 4.33 final drive provides for great acceleration and top speed.
