100mm drive flanges for 02j??

Well it seems I've fallen at the first hurdle with the 20vt swap. I've sourced a pair of cabby 100mm shafts and hubs but as per my usual luck my 02j box has 108mm flanges!!!

What gearbox do I need to pilfer some 100mm ones from that will work with my box? Does anyone know? Or better still does anyone have a pair there willing to sell?

Thanks in advance

02a gearbox is what im using of a mk3 16v gti that has 100mm flange,

So a mk3 donor is what I need then, best get round scrapyard or see what they are from steelers

Mat

yep thats what u need. you probaly buy the hole 02a gearbox from scrapyard cheaper that what steelers will sell you flanges

Next daft qeustion is it stamped o2a stamped on the box somewhere? Just so I no were I'm looking

Mat

by the drive shaft flanges, code is on a flat surface by the starter motor

Aahh thanks, il have a search in the breakers round here

Mat

does anyone know if the gearbox from a mk2 16v gti has the correct 100mm drive flanges to swap into a 02j box? can get one in next week or so for virtually free, but need to know first before i waste my mates time lol

mat

this is on ebay but im sure i see a set go for half that money

I dont think the later later cups fitted the 020 type boxes. All depends on how they attach. Doesnt the 2y box have 100mm cups anyway?

The add reckons they bolt in so if they did would they fit? Still seems a bit steep tho!!

Mat

if your 02J has bolt in types then yes they are compatable.
you can't mix and match the circlip types with bolt types

Yeah I figured that much, still seems a bit steep tho!

yes that is a bit much,

02j boxs came with 2 differant flange sizes, 100mm 108mm.

The 100mm are from early models, 108 are from later models

there are 2 types of 02a flange as well, bolt on and circlip fitting so make sure you get the right type. and no, 020 ones wont work at all

i used some flanges from a early mk4 tdi box, hope that helps

foxy

Ok thanks il look into it, there's a gearbox place local that reckon they've got some so il see what happevs
