Ok, maybe I'm being dippy but as I understand it, the mk2 has a rod change box and the mk3 has a cable change(?)
To convert mk2 to mk3 G/box you need to change the pedal box(?)
No, you add a SEAT Toledo 16V clutch actuator, clutch outer stop to fit to the gearbox and a Toledo 16V clutch cable.
You'll also need a super early Passat 2.0 speedo cable to link straight up from the 02A to the G2 speedo.
So I might as well convert it to mk3 engine G.box? Don't really want to go wide track but don't think you can use mk3 g/box without using the shafts off the mk3 and thus the hubs...?
No, you can re-use your n/s driveshaft. I'm not 100% about the o/s as the cable-change conversions I've done have been Syncro units, but it is likely the cable-changer has a wider diff, like the Syncro cable-changer, so the rod-change o/s shaft would be too long. The 02A box uses the same 100mm bolt pitch CVs as the 020 boxes.
If you need the shorter o/s driveshaft you can find 'narrow track' cable-change shafts on Cordoba 16Vs and Corrado 16V and G60 cars.
where the cable change box selector bolts to the tunnel it isnt as wide as the mk2 so doesnt bolt straight up
I understand the same, from what I've read. I DO know the Syncro tunnel is higher and the cable-changer mechanism does bolt right up there.
You shouldn't need to do any soldering - just get the loom from a Golf3 16V - it plugs into your 90-spec fusebox. If it's early enough you'll have no immobiliser to flap about with.
