Finally sorting the Golf

[rclifton4]

Well after being let down on a gearbox, i managed to source another box and today have spent a lot of money ordering:

Gearbox
2 Litres G/Box oil
New Clutch
Oil Filter
Oil
Fuel Filter
4x Spark Plugs
Dizzy Cap
Roter Arm
Pollen Filter (which will hopefully help rid of that gearbox oil smell out the vents lol)
Haynes Manual (£2 delivered off ebay lol)

I have found love for my golf again after a little sulk over it all lol

Would you recommend getting new HT leads?

Hi matey

Yeh you might as well go th whole hogging. Ho and if your changing the dizzy might be worth getting the crank shaft sensor too mate £40 GSF. It located behind the dizzy on the engine block you have to remove the front engine mount to get to it. Have fun dude.

get a new clutch release bearing too as the gearbox is out of the car already. Cheap to buy and worth doing to save you time in the future!

Cheers for the heads up guys, the release bearing, is it extra labour involved or is it somthing that has to be removed anyway?

If your going to put a new gear box in mate you might as well do the clutch too at the same time as they can drop the clutch out at the same time whilst the gear box is out nothing of a job.

Yeah i already ordered the clutch should be arriving tomorrow but i was wondering about the fitting of the bearing

I'm not too sure about that mate but don't think it is that bigger job tho bud sorry can't advise you more on this.

[rclifton4]

Thats cool its only £7 so i will buy it and just get it put on anyway lol

Cheers

hi mate yeah your release bearing shouldnt cost you anymore in labour costs as its not a hard job being as you`ll have the gear box out anyway!

This is becoming a joke now, i have been let down for the 3rd time with gearboxes. All wasted my time and still no gearbox. Anyone know of one please let me know for 8v
