Hi guys, i just did my swap from a ABU to a AGG this weekend, but now i have a problem with the drive shafts. The ones from the ABU engine have the flange in the gearbox measuring 90mm and the AGG gearbox is 100mm. How can i solve this, does anyone know?

Problem sorted... Just got the transmissions from a diesel one

Not that easy My old gearbox was a 085 and the the GTI one is a 020 so the flanges are totally diferent and cannot be swapped. If that is what you were refering off course...

isnt an 085 a polo gearbox?

when doing a 16v to r32 conversion, is it the clocks that needs changing or the signal sender that plugs into the g-box for the revcounter to work correctly?

cheers

you will need to swap the clocks to VR6 items pal
