Change gear ratios...

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.

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!

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 :)

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!

VOLKSWAGEN: VENTO 1.4 (1991-1995), 1.6 (1991-1994).

VOLKSWAGEN: CADDY 1.4 (1995-2004), 1.6 (1995-2004).

VOLKSWAGEN: JETTA 1. 3 (1985-1992).

VOLKSWAGEN: GOLF MK2 1.3 (1987-1992) / GOLF MK3 1.4 (1991-1999), 1.6 (1992-1994).

so now it's mix and match time. My quest continues.
