yeh the 1.8t is a simple conversion really you can buy alot of the stuff now :/ i had to make the drivers side mount . and you can use the gti box and shafts . but i had to convert everythink to hydraulic clutch and move the chassis mount as mine was a 1.3

i'm going to pass on the gti box and shafts, i'd rather not risk the bang in the gearbox :lol:

plus i quite the idea of the comfort for cruising 6th gear gives

[lord14]

mk4's only have 5 speed boxes dont they ?. i thought it was just the seat which do 6 speeds on the 1.8t's . best bet would be to buy a o2a gearbox or a o2j with 100mm drive flanges .

i have a leon cupra as a donor car

using gearbox codes means nothing to me atm i'm afraid lol

[lord14]

its just 100mm flanges on the gearbox is the only shaft you can use in the conversion i made the mistake of using my mk4 gti box with 108 mm box flanges and had to change the box after calling a few places up .

Love this car!!! nice job!!

Yes mk4's do come with 6 speed boxes in the AUQ engines i.e anniversary models and post 2003 gti T's

its just 100mm flanges on the gearbox is the only shaft you can use in the conversion i made the mistake of using my mk4 gti box with 108 mm box flanges and had to change the box after calling a few places up .

useful info, but why can't i just change the shafts too?

[lord14]

the only conversion shafts you can buy are 100mm , the others dont fitt
