Wondered how strong standard MK3 GTI 16v gearboxes are normally? I've had some engine work done and she's now putting out around 185 BHP according to the dyno. Standard gearbox should be fine shouldn't it.

Cool, thanks gasketface, I've no idea how strong the gearboxes are as standard so wondered what their reputation was like. At MOT had an advisory of a slight oil weep at the gearbox, hence my question after the engine work that's been done considering car is low miles.
I've been doing, and had done, a load of work to the car over the past couple of years. Sort of a rolling project. I've got rustproofing and a detail left to do, so once all finished I'll post up pics in the MK3 project cars thread :)

It'll be fine, I have a 240bhp 1.8t engine attached to one.

Excellent! Thanks fella, just the sort of inside knowledge I was looking for. I bet your MK3 flies! :cool:
