mk2 Posted June 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2019 Yeah. So it looks like the only option is the fifth gear set and synchro from a 3L box. In this country... rocking horse poo. Unless I can find which mk2 golf had the same cogs.... anyone? Just got back from another 200 mile jaunt. Yeah, definitely needs to rev lower at 80 on the motorway.

yeha Posted June 15, 2019 Report Share Posted June 15, 2019 What's the code for the mk2 box? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2 Posted June 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2019 AUG or AWY, but from an 020 box. I'm not sure if the shafts are right though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeha Posted June 16, 2019 Report Share Posted June 16, 2019 020 stuff is no use to you. I do have a vague memory that 'maybe' you can use a 3rd gear pair in the 5th position. I'm sure I read of a German berg cup gearbox that had used a 5th pair in 3rd to get a better spread of ratios. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2 Posted June 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2019 Yeah I know. Heard the same. But where to go definitive... I can see me pulling box after box to pieces, probably ruining at least one or other till I find the right cogs. Won't go that way. No-one I know in Germany is willing to pull a 3L box to bits for me for cogs as they're worth too much complete! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sausage Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 085311158N is about £370! You know you want one... You'd also need 085311361G which is another £205. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2 Posted June 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 Yeah, what's £600 or there abouts... ah, small change? So this is what I'll be buying. 2 cogs and a syncro clutch. Works out about the same price for a bar of pure silver by weight. Special stuff this vdub steel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sausage Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 Err, those splines look awful big, fine and straight cut.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2 Posted June 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 Yeah well a generic pic for effect... didn't think anyone would notice! I'm going to contact this breakers in Bremen and see if I can get a box of various bits sent over. There are so many 3L Lupos in German breakers yards! https://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/s-anzeige/vw-lupo-3l-diesel-schlachtfest-ersatzteile-spender/1141913597-223-35 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
