Selector boxes for Vespa models in 3- and 4-speed versions—available from PIAGGIO, FA ITALIA, and as a premium model.
Like all mechanical components, Selector Boxes are subject to natural wear and tear. If the Selector Box has play, the Spring is worn out, or the Selector Arm is worn or cracked, the Selector Box should be replaced. It can be a good idea to carry a spare Selector Box, especially on longer trips.
For classic Vespa models, there are different 3- and 4-speed versions. These differ, among other things, in the shape and position of the Selector Arm.
PIAGGIO sometimes supplies Selector Boxes from different manufacturers under the same part number. Since FA ITALIA also acts as a supplier for PIAGGIO, original PIAGGIO packaging may also contain FA Selector Boxes.
For newer models, in addition to PIAGGIO, we also offer Selector Boxes from FA ITALIA and a premium version. The FA ITALIA models stand out for their good value for money and high quality. The premium version is characterized by exceptionally high manufacturing quality and precise dimensions.
Conclusion: During a major engine overhaul, the Selector Box should always be carefully inspected and replaced if worn.
These products fit perfectly—SIP TIPS:
- It’s best to check or replace the Cruciform, Gear Selector Rod, and Spacers at the same time. Don’t forget to add fresh Gearbox Oil.
On the Vespa 125 VNB5-6T/GT/GTR 1°/Super/TS/150 VBB/VGLB/VGL1/GL/Sprint/V 1°/Super 1°/180 Rally/200 Rally 1° models, the lever of the Selector Box in 3rd gear should be parallel to the sealing surface, similar to the PX Lusso.
On Vespa 125 GTR 2°/150 Sprint V 2°/Super 2°/200 Rally 2°, however, the lever in 3rd gear is positioned approximately 1.5 mm above the sealing surface.
PIAGGIO currently supplies the first version only with a Lever position of approximately 1.0–1.5 mm. The 2° version is no longer available. FA ITALIA does not distinguish between the two variants and generally supplies the Lever with a protrusion. For this reason, we have clarified the product descriptions accordingly.
For original engines with approximately 7–10 PS, minor deviations are usually not critical. For tuned engines, however, we recommend precise spacing using the DRT Spacer Kit.
