ABF Gearbox
« on: 16 September 2011, 15:36 »
Trying to mate my 02A to my ABF to fit into my mk2... Thing is i cant seem to get my gearbox to fit.. it just doesnt seem to line up at all.. ive tried lining the 2 lugs up on the block but still nothing its starting to annoy me now..

can anyone help ?

has anyone got decent pics of a ABF block and gearbox mounted together ?

Thanks

Do you mean the bolt holes don't line up? The 02a is designed to fit lots of engines so you don't don't need all the holes lined up i think i only have 3 on mine

Daft question perhaps. but it is the gearbox for the engine isn't it?
It's not a 6 cylinder 02A?

There's a flat section near the shift tower. Clean it off and you should see the code.

2 part numbers ive found,

o2A 945 413 B - on the shift tower - And google says this is the reverse light switch

o2A 301 107 C - on the inside of the housing - Quick google tells me its a 5speed trans housing

any ideas ?
