Trying to mate my 02A to my ABF to fit into my mk2... Thing is i cant seem to get my gearbox to fit.. it just doesnt seem to line up at all.. ive tried lining the 2 lugs up on the block but still nothing its starting to annoy me now..
can anyone help ?
has anyone got decent pics of a ABF block and gearbox mounted together ?
Thanks
-
Do you mean the bolt holes don't line up? The 02a is designed to fit lots of engines so you don't don't need all the holes lined up i think i only have 3 on mine
-
just cant get it to line up so it looks half decent im just confused
-
Daft question perhaps. but it is the gearbox for the engine isn't it?
It's not a 6 cylinder 02A?
-
How would I tell the difference mate ?

What's the gearbox code on it?
-
Can only see o2a on the outside where will the whole code be located ?
-
There's a flat section near the shift tower. Clean it off and you should see the code.
-
Thanks will do it in the morning and post up :smiley:
-
2 part numbers ive found,
o2A 945 413 B - on the shift tower - And google says this is the reverse light switch
o2A 301 107 C - on the inside of the housing - Quick google tells me its a 5speed trans housing
any ideas ?
-
On the flat section where the shift tower bolts on, there should be a 3 digit code. DPA or similar.
I think DPA is the Mk3 16v gearbox.
You may have ro use some emery paper or a scraper to get the area clean and readable.
I *think* the Golf VR6 'box is CCM...and no use at all.
-
you were right turns out to be a o2a vr6 box :cry: there is no way this will fit is there ?? its a o2a CCM box
-
Right on the hunt for a new gearbox :angry:
-
any idea of codes that will fit ive found a DFQ code one ?
-
Any 4 cylinder 02a will fit, but depends on the ratios you need.
-
Think DFQ is an 020 box is it not??
-
Yep 020
DFQ 8/95 - 7/96 Golf, 8/95 - 7/96 Jetta, From '93 115hp, Large input shaft 3.45 1.94 1.29 0.97 0.8 3.67
Search in this knowledge base (http://www.clubgti.com/forum/showthread.php?t=115595) for all the 02a codes. You may find a box with a 3.9:1 ratio would be better for a mk2. :wink:
Even an 02J from a mk4 can fit and may even have some good ratios to choose from. Don't go putting any old box that fits on. It may spoil your driving feel.
-
What box would you recommend mate ?? i just want something cheap at the moment so i can get the car running and MOT'd and can change after if need be.. can you also run seat cable clutch on a mk4 box ?
-

Nope...not unless you swap the casing for a 4 cylinder casing...and even then the FD ratio is awful for a 16v.
Best just flog it and look for a DPA or other 4 cylinder 'box.

Ah. Also depends on what driveshafts you have, as they are different sizes. Although some are interchangeable. Do it once and get the box you need. CDA/DPA MK3 16v boxes can be had for £30-£60 if you search. Mk4 boxes can be used with the cable IIRC.

well i have my original mk2 shafts and i have 2 100mm shafts here i assume from mk3
