Mk2 golf 16v rod and cable change gearbox
« on: 21 February 2009, 19:01 »
I have a 1990 mk2 16v golf with a cable change gearbox that is now seized  :sad: So i have bought a replacement off ebay
After getting it home i realised that this is a rod change box and not a cable change box like the one on my golf,are they interchangeable or have i just waisted a load of money?

your old box is a rod change box, with cable clutch. the one you have bought is a cable change box with hydro clutch ;)
02a was fitted to MK3 16v, Golf G60, Corrado & Passat, wont work on your car without swapping gearstick, fit hydro clutch or SEAT ABF cable conversion bracket.

Thanks,the guy i bought it off swears it came out of his H reg mk2 16v which i can only think had a mk3 engine in it,ive found another one on ebay that is the o2y box so im gonna bid on that and if i dont win that ive been told a mk3 gti 8v box will fit but im worried that will kill the performance of my 16v as i have a mk3 8v aswel and its bloody gutless!  :laugh:

MK2 8v box is a closer match in terms of ratios, but you'll need a MK2 GTI 8v friction disc for it to go on.  Not that its a bad thing as a new clutch is recommended anyway, unless you already bought a 16v clutch kit :grin:
