gearbox

[woodygti]

im new to this sorry
iv got a mk4 gti 1.8t 20v and my clutch is on its way out. a bloke by me is selling a clutch and gearbox out of a 2.0
will the gearbox and clutch fit straight in or not???

[Adam]

As your gearbox is a 5 speed box yeah It will fit.

I would imagine you'd need to keep specific to your engine and box really, I'd have thought the 2.0 clutch wouldn't handle the same power as a 1.8t surely?

Most have a 228mm clutch. Same as the 2.0 8v mk3 as well. Hence why the G60 and VR6/16v Clutch and flywheel is an upgrade.

Would the 2.0 box not be different ratios

Possibly

Would the driveshafts fit though - got a feeling they are different

1.8t swap with 1.8t

Different ratios aswell.. there are always people breaking 1.8t's.. pm jordyGTI he might have one..

[Adam]

This is why you read the question first lol.  :embarassed:

Yeah it will fit but it will have slightly different ratios.

but if its just your clutch on the way out, why would you need his gearbox?

cheers lads i understand it might be a different ratio to the 1.8t.
its just iv been offered the 2.0 gearbox and clutch for 130
if i was to jus buy a fast road clutch, how hard are they to change, never done one before.??
anything in perticular i need to do???
and wheres best place to get a clutch from without breaking the bank???
been quoted 700 to have new clutch and fitted at garage cheers
