    My gear box is very crunchy,, its V broken. Before i ring my local car dismantlers and get myself ripped off, were VR6 gear boxes made for a higher rating than standard MK3 gear boxes or were they all the same. If i can get away with asking for a standard MK3 box then im likely to not have a couple of pounds added on because its for a VR. Is there some where i can look up this sort of info.

    All help greatly appreciated, even though its not a GTi but i do own a nice black one as well.

    Thanks

    Ben

    Hi there, is your car a VR6?

    The gearbox in the VR6 has a different Bell Housing, so any of the four cylinder gearboxes will not fit.

    nothing in a VR box that makes it any stronger either, the internals are used sometimes for the gearing though.
