Hmmm..... I'm guessing this is going to be worht me trying out, and seeing if it cures my 'crunching 2nd gear' ?!? Have got a replacment 'box, (thanks to raddogolfman!) but if using Redline MTL sorts the problem, it'll save me getting the 'boxes swapped over @ a cost of 120.....
yeap and then you can sell your box to someone who wants a 20vt conversion in a mk2 maybe try adjusting your cables a little too, also worn engine mounts will give a dodgy gearchange
Cheers Olly Got the weekend to myself, so will be attempting to sort out several 'issues' with the Cordy !!!
Only problem I can see me having is undoing the 17mm bung..... it was damn tight when I tried undoing the 'refil' on to check the levels!!!
tried using a locking wheel nut key, but couldn't find anything to grip it with properly!! Going to pop into Halfrauds/GSF on Saturday and pick up a 1/2" drive one !!!! Stick the extendable wheel wrench on it and that should do the job !!!!
Aye the hydro gearbox mount in my Driver had gone which made it impossible to select second when turning right whilst travelling uphill. Handy that there is a busy junction on a hill that I have to turn right out of every day... Though it still took 6 months for me to get around to fixing it Edited by: rubjonny
Rember if you are using a LSD even a gear type like a Quaife you will need a GL5 or greater shockproof oil. Found this out after my first outing with the quaife at the RSOC day at combe, When u get the diff working hard it will foam the oil and the box goes realy sticky and horrible.
Just ordered 2 bottles from C&R as they're only down the road, it worked out cheaper than Turbo-bits with the P&P 13 isha bottle from C&R Also ordered my Mk4 rear caliper conversion hoses at last !!!
They do, or they have a list of distributors which includes a lot of local motor factors - they won't have it in stock, but can order it in for you......
