Title: 1.8t subframe
Post by: andyj775 on 28 June 2010, 19:38

are the threads to bolt the lower gearbox mount to the subframe in the same place on every one? reason i ask is that both threads on mine are nackered, so im looking at buying another subframe and cutting out the section i need and welding into mine. tried tap and dies etc with no luck so this is my only option before replacing the whole subframe

basically i just need to know if the oval hole in which the lower gearbox mount sits (in the subframe) is in the same place on all models of golf and the threads either side for the 2 bolts?

dog bone mount is the same on all MK4's as far as I know.  i.e. you can fit a mount from the R32 to a 1.4

why dont you just swap the subframes instead of cutting and welding the one on the car, surely its going to be easier

i looked into swaping the frames,but just thought that swapping it would involve getting everything re-aligned etc.
