Title: quick gearbox question
Post by: RIPP3Y on 05 July 2012, 00:26

 Hi, my man at the garage has said my gearbox is knackered so i need a replacment.
I no its been covered befor ebut need to act quick as i may commit to buy a Mk2 8v Gti box with a green cap, taken from an E reg car. tomorrow.

mine is a J reg 1991,  Whats this about the flanges :shocked:, all i was told to search for was an 8v gti gearbox with a green cap on it.
Im not sure what size flanges are on mine. :undecided:
