Title: mk1 golf gearbox
Post by: daniel-1986 on 04 October 2007, 21:12

my mate has not long bought a mk1 1.0 or 1.3 golf with a 4-speed gearbox and i was wondering if it will fit on to my mk2 1.3 4-speed golf as my input shaft bearing in on its way out. i dont want to bother gettin a 5-speed for mine for now since i want to save for a mk1 or mk2 gti

i have a question, does the gti 1600 box fit a mk1 caddy 1600 diesel which has a 4 speed in it?

1) check the input shaft size on the new gearbox, it should match up with yours. Either way, just fit a new clutch to match the gearbox, crazy not to put a new clutch on while box is out!

2) Yes it will bolt up fine, not sure if the ratios will be any good though, the 1600 box is a very close ratio box so wont make the best of the 1600 diesel torque curve id have thought.  Only thing to check is the size of the driveshaft flanges, your diesel may have 100mm whereas the 1600 will be 90mm.  Also you'll need all the 5 speed linkages and even the stick itself IIRC to make it work (assuming the 1600 box is a 5 speeder)
