Corrado g/box in to a mk3?

[Gavv8]

A mate of mine needs a new g/box in his mk3 8v, will a 1.8 corrado box fit?

Cannhelp you there but a DFQ box is the right one if he has an agg engine

I thought the 8v had an 020 box?

Check this on eBay, it will give you a better idea of what can fit and what codes were used, item number: 261176263507

I need to get me old gearbox re-cond too, diff went on old one, so bought a 2nd hand gearbox which has lasted 2 years and now reverse idler has packed in on this. It pops out of reverse if I'm harsh on the gas, otherwise nice and steady it's ok.

Another thing I want to add is that if a corrado g/box fits you may have to run corrado flywheel and clutch for it to work.

I know that you can use a MK2 golf gearbox on a MK3 GTI, but you have to use MK2 flywheel and clutch. So it may well be the same case.

Seems that you can use a mk3 8v box on a mk2 1.8 16v but not the raddo.

The 16v Rado uses an 02A gearbox with hydro clutch I believe
