5 to 4 speed

Post by docklad »

Is there much of a difference when swapping from a 5speed to a four speed? Is it a big job? Cheers

You will need the correct gearbox mounting to suit your engine (I think petrol and diesel are different)
The gearlever and the tin box that goes below the floor under it.
And the front section of the selector shaft , going by vagcat the rear section is the same for 4 and 5 speed.
Vagcat - very useful for reference I think.

I think these links will work but you need to register (free) to explore it yourself.
