Digi Gearbox on a K-Jet engine? will it fit?
« on: 25 May 2005, 19:48 »
er, will a gearbox from a 89 1.8 8v Digifant fit onto a 85 1.8 8v Kjet engine?

Any help would be great, my drive flange has fused to the gearbox when it ceased.

Now I need to change the box :-(

The gearboxes that you are describing should be interchangeable as long as they are both 020 boxes and both from 8V GTI mk2s   .

But just to note:

       The very very  early mk2s had a different reverse lamp switch which is the same as the mk1 GTI
       
Hope this is of some help :smiley:
