golf gti 1.8 box into a golf gti 2.0?

[mark1963]

does anyone know if the 1.8 gti box will fit into a 2.0 car?
only reason is my reverse gear has gone and been offered one on ebay

You talking the mk2 1.8 GTI box going on to a MK3 GTI??
If so dont think they are a direct fit, and the ratio's possibly wouldn't be ideal for the 2.0 lump, The mk2 Valver box is the same fitment but again I think the ratios are slightly different

[mark1963]

no its out of a mk3 1.8 gti

Unless it is South African spec I believe they did get a 1.8GTI / sport

yep was one on ebay and a thread on it on here a while back, their is a 1.8GTi but was never sold here unless imported but i cant see why as the spec was not as good.

[boneybradley]

in mainland Europe they sold a 1.8GT with the spi 90bhp engine......so you could say this is a GTi (the polish seem to like these so it may be an import!)
In the Uk we called it the driver/se as the spec is nearly the same (driver trim and engine and se body kit)

So essentially a poor mans GTI.
