You have a choice:

keep 020 transmission from Mk1 Golf
use 02A transmission from 20vT, you'll need different mounts (quite costly to buy), convert hydraulic clutch to cable, and convert cable change to rod change. Or you can adapt the car to use hydraulic clutch and/or cable change if you want to - lots of work involved though.

Bit inappropriate to say to a new member who's signed up for advice?

what do u mean by the 020 transmision and the 02A transmision?

they jus the standard ones iniist?

is there much 2 adapt
with the drive shats and stuff then?  i aint really sure what i am guna be gettin myself init so jus what 2 know b4 i spend a 1p really

Cheeeers

020 is the standard gearbox in a big block (1.5, 1.6, 1.8 ie all GTIs and some others) Mk1 Golf; and many other VWs of the era and a little later

02A is the standard gearbox in many later VWs, for example Mk3 Golf 16V, Corrado, Mk4 Golf (20vT and probably others), G60 etc

Basically if you buy a 20vT engine and gearbox, its 95% likely going to be an 02A box on it.

cheers 4 tht  so u rekon basicly jus get the engine and gear box use both of thm and jus adapt it 2 fit the mk1?

do i use the driveshafts from the 20v?

and any idea what breaks i use? vr6 mab?

cheers

as paul said use get engine and gearbox together if you can or use the 020 box from a 16v

theres big brake conversions you can buy which would do the trick 16v master cylinder and servo are a must as a minimum :wink:
