slaps self i was thinking about 6 speed boxes for some reason

There would be no need to put Golf3 trash like a complete subframe under it.
Even with the wide-track conversion you don't need to install a Golf3 subframe.
Brad as ever over-reaching himself with his interweb nolidge.
The most simple thing to do would be to use G60 mount at the back, on your current subframe, with a 1.3 (solid rubber) gearbox mount and a GTI-type mount at the front. If you're using a cable-change gearbox you will need the correct flywheel, tinware and (importantly) the front mount bracket, plus driver's side driveshaft to suit the width of track you're using.
I would also supplement this with a pendulum mount to the gearbox to keep the movement down on the set up.
-
What's a pendulum mount?
-
Has bracket on the chassis leg and comes down to the gearbox from above, to stabilise it.
-
Sorry to bump this back to the top, but.
Can we clarify which part and even part nunbers are needed.
I understand the G60 rea, Gti front and 1.3 gearbox mounts. But which bracket is need to run a cable clutch conversion ?
I know I will need the actuator (02b 141 708A) is the correct braket 357199356 ?
-
I think there's at least one actuator lying about in the barn.
The part I'm not sure we have is the clutch cable tensioner, as outlined:
Tensioning bracket to hold the end of the cable outer - described as a 'support' in ETKA: 357199356 - this was only ever fitted to early LHD 35i Passats
Which is the part you've highlighted, which you might need. Let's take stock tonight.
That post above is from this post which outlines what you need for a cable-change cable-clutch set up:

Cheers Thomas,
Even though there are countless topics on slinging the 1.8t in a mk2 I still dont think anyone has written a guide or a list that makes full sense for idiots.
I want to make sure things work properly and not just work. So want a list of all the parts I need to do it the right way!

Also this is Dave (esplanade ;) )
-
I used a new mk2 golf gti rear gearbox mount a complete mk3 gearbox set up abf with a new gearbox mount and the front abf front mount bracket with a new mk2 golf front mount bracket :)
-
I will be runnign the mk4 gearbaox thats with teh agu engine. Just want the right brakets and mounts to make it all work perfect ;)
-
Oh you're THAT Dave. Not Dave_iow :rolleyes:
You don't want the cable clutch. It'll be too heavy for your legs. Go hydro - you'll need a Corrado pedal box and hydro lines.
ABF brackets all bolt up to the CDA gearbox, as do the flanges.
-
cable will be fine, have driven one in mates mk1 and feels fine with the g60/vr6 set up.
All brackets have been ordered going to get mounts from eay rather then VW ones.
-
Im currently doing this conversion and have a spare gearbox bracket that fits either the mk3 02A or the mk4 02J if anyone needs one. ive gone down the hydro clutch route.
Also ive gone for the mk2 G60 mounts that ive been told are bonded rubber
-
Are the mounts new??

I'd be interested in the gearbox bracket for the clutch cable
-
bought new monuts now as well.
Any one have the part numbers for the right cables for both teh throttle cable and the clutch cable ??
Can these be bought online ?!
Dave
-
Tried the link I put in above?
Kinda answers your question about the clutch cable....
Throttle cable - no idea. Ask me in a month's time when we've done Dave's.
-
Sorry got the link, what I shoudl have said has anyone found one apart from the seat dealers?
Ones ive found arnt an exact match for the part number ?
Ie ebay, motor factors etc
-
You're unlikely to find one, on the basis that it's self-adjusting, so lasts a long time and also from a small number of cars.
Be interested to hear if you find one to fit, cheaper than original.
-
Hiya :cool: :grin: :whistle:
-
:laugh: :laugh: Hello :drool:
-
on a converison note I think I may have found a clutch cable for a fraction of the seat one. will find out on Monday :rolleyes:
-
Great news. I'm aware a 1.3 clutch cable is supposed to fit, which would be a lot cheaper as it's non-self-adjusting.
I've not tried one myself, but if it *is* that cable you may find it's a bit short for the application, as the actuator bracket points the cable backwards and flat in the engine bay vs the 1.3, which is vertical.
-
Its nopt a 1.3 one as although they might work, I dont think they work well enough!
Will know on Monday when it arrives. Just the downpipe to order now and the immo remove from the transplant car and we will be all systems go
-
I use the 1.3 cable clutch no problems here also the 1.3 speedo cable
