I believe the earlier Lupo GTI's had five speed gearboxes but this was uprated to six, not sure when though...I think the majority are six...not much help am I? I'm trying though!

most are 6 spd and i think the major fitting factor wouuld be the heightof the engine and possibly the width

lol if you can fit a VR6 into a lupo you must be able to fit a lupo in a polo :P

It's possible, but not easy by any means.
If you are prepared to spend a few grand and put some serious work into it, then it could be done.
The physical size, like polo 2k said will be serious problem.
