So if you could give me your ideas on what options i have, and how much this might set me back. the gti box is an 02J isn't it? ( Home Page > ES#248525 Quaife LSD Differential 02J Transmission 114mm Ring Gear - QDF10R)
If i was to do this, i would be very temped to get an LSD put in, as it seems pretty worthwhile if you can get em cheap from ecs, why not, plust i've been told that dif's can fail so it's good to put new ones in anyway at some stage. Question is, what is involved with a gearbox rebuild?ĭoes the mechanic open it up, and replace what's worn? or just replace all common wearing parts? Or entire box?Īnd would the cost of the rebuild depend largely on what parts need replacing, or is it more the labour costs? i recently installed 42dd metal shifter cable bushings to see if that would reduce any slop that might be causing the bad gear changes, but it didn't, just made the problems of the gearbox more evident.Īnd while i was installing them, i tried some gear changes by moving the gear shift mechanism directly on the gearbox, and it was still as rough, which i guess rules out the problem being with the linkage mechanism and cables. Most gears require a little too much force to get them in, which means i often just baby them into the gears.
The box in my gti works ok, but i'm fussy and it is very rough between gears, and so i'm assuming that there is a lot of general wear and tear, including the synchros, and all other moving bits and peices.
O2J TRANSMISSION REBUILD HOW TO
I'd like some advice on how to go about getting my gearbox/transmission to a nice condition.
