Best gearbox for 1.8t conversion

Phoned Stevens VW breakers and got " no chance mate, every one we get go straightaway, they want if for the 20v conversion"!

Yes me too. :(

Any idea how much a new one would be :o would VW be cheaper than Audi for it new?

dont want to buy the tower new, would be many hundreds :lol:

the part number I put up is just for the TT short shift weight, you can only get it from audi as its audi part. try your local TPS though might get some discount :)

people dont like to split em so can be a struggle. this is why i suggest local scrappy. plus can check it all carefully for play and rust inside before you buy :)

those are the later style 02j yes, the one on the left is the usual 5 speed type. not sure what the one on the right is off but it looks liek it'll work?

basically, if its a 5 speed mk4 golf with a tower that looks like one of those, its fine. various SEAT, Audi and other VW use the same setup as well but MK4 Golf is what you'll find most of while scrappy hunting
