Gearbox flanges
« on: 30 March 2014, 11:31 »
Hi all I have just fitted a new gearbox to the old girl and I have just realised the flanges that hold the driveshafts are too small is it easier to swap them from the old box or change the cv joints if so does anyone have any idea which ones I would need (I'm hoping there are only 2 flange sizes and the gearbox has the smaller one)

GTI is not a trim level. It is a lifestyle.
