O2J shift tower in O2A/quick question! | VW Vortex - Volkswagen Forum
This is my problem, I have the groeved one. To fit to my current 02a set-up I will need a smooth one. I knew this was never going to go as planned lol

Hi Peter, do you have a photo of the tower your selling. I think it has just got to be from a 1998 golf gti, so that it has the same shifter mechanism as the TT, aswell as a smooth shaft where it locates

Cheers peter, all sorted. Funkstar has came to the rescue. Its from a 2001 model and has the smooth shaft.

Have you used the 02j gear knob peter? Wouldnt mind having the original mk1 knob, but thats threaded isnt it so would have to find a way of fitting it

Encountered another problem! This new smoothed shaft still wont fit, the shaft is still too big for the locator by 1mm diameter. Any ideas??

Its not mate no. What Ive got to do is change the shaft locator from the the bottom of the gearbox. One to suit and fit the larger shaft tower.

Yes mate, sorted it. Ended up having to replace the bottom locator from underneath the gearbox, so that the shaft and locator matched up. All working fine now, the shift feels really good aswell, alot shorter and smoother than the standard 02a set-up

Hey Peter,
I know this was forever ago but do you still have the 02J tower by any chance?
My gearbox is an 02A DPA code, but I have a shifter from an '04 Seat Ibiza which I'm hoping will match to the 02J tower.

OK cheers for the reply. If you know of an available 02J tower please let me know - you seem to be the man in the know on these.
Could I ask what shifter you used and what bracket for attaching the cables to the gearbox? The 3-holed bracket on my cables doesn't line up with the holes on the 02A 'box
Cheers

Cheers Peter. Much appreciated.
I just started a new thread in the running gear section but you've probably answered my question and I'd rather have the 02J tower in before installing everything in the car and filling the 'box with oil.
I think my Ibiza shifter should be the same as your Polo one. If not I'll know what to get instead
