to cut a long story short ... i've recently bought a gearbox from a seller on ebay, the add picture showed the gearbox in the donor car with a later type clutch cable connection to the box .... when i received the box my mechanic ( with 20 years experience of gti's) said that the box sent was an earlier type box which meant it needed an earlier type clutch cable connection ... my question is are the different clutch cable connections interchangeable with earlier and later type boxes .. oh and i have an '88 8v. cheers guys.
