for the better or for the worst? I expect with all that extra wheelspin it understeers like a greasy pig? Chris, yeah, as I explained to you yesterday (but for the benefit of other) to 02C is a syncro box. basically an 02A, but with the bellhousing and diff that allows an angle drive (transfer box) to be fitted, for a propshaft and the subsequent 4wd.
I take it we are talking about cable change boxes but do they have cable or hydraulic clutches? as i want to fit a six speed cog box to my mk2 2.0ltr 8 valve but dont want the hassle of having to convert to hydraulic clutch. Are there any boxes that you can change the gears over so you have the origanle 5 speeds then the new 6th in the 6 speed box casing? or is it just case of trying to find a box with ratio's some where near?
The hydraulic lcutch is easy, just fit a passat pedal box and drill 3 holes in the bulkhead to mount it, and either use the proper brake fluid reservoir or run a seperate pot for the clutch. cable shifter mech botls in east too.
Nice one Phat I knew there would be some body on here to give me an exscuse to go to the scrappy. So which six speed cog box would be best fo my 2.0ltr 8v?
Whhhhyyyyyyy??? Please someone explain to me why you would want to fit a 6 speed box to a Mk2 8v they have a wide powerband. Its pointless. As for keeping the original 5 gears and adding a 6th to it... again... WHYYYY? Its not going to be able to get up to those kind of speeds anyway. Not sure exactly about the ratios in a Mk2, but my Mk3 topped out 5th at over 130, you're not going to be getting any higher than that in an 8v.
Cos the topic was started with a question about a six speed cog box on an 8 valve and my 8 valve is still pulling at top speed. Its torque that makes the go not bhp.
Thank you for saying it, so i didn't have to. Well high speed is power unless, you're doing high speeds at extremely low rpm's... but i think we all know how futile that would be. Heh... but i could see some torque freaks trying it.
ok ok. I'll admit it! iam a torque freak. there i've said it now and it feels alot better. Me and the tractor boys will go pull some ploughs. Just out of interest does any body know of a web site with a list of up to date cog boxes and ratios? cheers yall
You don't need a 6 speed, just get the final drive right. right there paul but with 6 spd you can have great acceleration AND quiet cruising
yes, maybe, but if you get the other 4 gears right it doen't matter. You're never going to use top gear on a circuit anyway.
yeah depends on the powerspread some cars will keep falling in the hole on the motorway with a long 5th with your vr don't suppose it's a problem, however my 10k 6spd box cost less than a rebuilt 2y so what the hell, it'll do me
