Hi guys and girls As you may know know I have a mk2 golf vr6 I run a v5 gear box dzl code but want to change the 5th for motorway runs and lower the revs Can anyone tell me what I need to replace it on the mk4 v5 gearbox Regards Lee
So you picked a box with a 3.9 final drive and a 0.835th year. for your engine ( without seeing a power graph) I’d say its too short overall. A std mk3 Vr box has a 3.3 f/d (and 0.83 5th) making everything longer. Have a good think about what you want to achieve as putting a super long 5th in can be too much of a drop from 4th
Hi hotgolf Thanks for getting back to me The car Accelerate really quick 1st 2nd 3rd 4th but I'm just thinking more of the motorway I would like the revss lower so was told to get a TDI 5th gear Any help from you will be great as I know your the gearbox guru. I use to track my car so the 2.3v5 box was great for that
