mk3 gearbox query
« on: 14 February 2011, 17:11 »
i have been looking for a replacement gearbox for my 1998 'R' reg golf.
i have found a box from a 1996 2.0 8v on ebay.mine is a 2.0 8v too.
can i consider that this will fit my car too?
i have asked for codes but he says he cannot read them on the box.

get the box code off it before you buy though, even if last car it came out of a 2.0 8v it might have been changed before that for something else.

its on the flat plate on the bottom o the bell housing, one mk3 box code off top o my head is CHE
