Gearbox Question
« on: 15 December 2008, 19:20 »
i have a vw scirocco, with a 2.0 8v passat engine which untill now has been using a mk2 golf gti (8v) gearbox....however its foooked!

What other gearbox's are the same fitment? i know they pretty much all fit to the block, but which will have the same input shaft size and spline (so it will fit my clutch)?

Any help will be great, and if anyone has what i need near cambridge let me know!

Cheers

any  mk2 8valve  020 series box will  fit your clutch.

mk2 16v  and mk3 8 valve boxes have the larger shaft   
all the VW's have gone bar 1.

make sure its a MK2 GTI box though, non-GTI has smaller 90mm driveshaft flanges.  Though you can swap the larger 100mm GTI ones on, this is an extra pain in the arse you could do without I expect  :grin:
Later cabs and sciroccos have the 100mm shafts as well.

The MK3 2.0 and MK2 16v boxes can be fitted if you put a 16v friction disc on.

rocco one has smaller shafts...and looking at the state of my clutch i think i'm going to change it, was wondering if this would fit? don't know the box codes, don't know if this is cable change, and weather i can convert it to fit my car (will probably need the clutch to match, but while its in bits i think i may aswell do the best i can for it) i think you change change the selector on the car to take cable change one!???

hope that makes sense
