ok it is the gearbox, f**ked! It was a re-con gearbox that i had put in about six months ago for my old engine (2l 8v) Dubsport thought it would be ok as it was recently re-coned. I just spoke to them and they said they would put a mk4 box in for 500 but it will cost me about 200 to get it there on a transporter. The car is a 95' mk3 golf gti 8v (or was!) Im live buckhurst hill. anyone got any more suggestions? thanx.
Vagsport are in Essex www.vagsport.co.uk ask them for a quote, I'm sure they can supply and fit. Sorry to hear of ur troubles mate.
thanx for the info. I think im gonna go with designer dubs. But im giving up for today. I quite fancy drowning my sorrows but ive got to save for a new gearbox!
get it done properly an 8v box was never going to live with that power for long, you need a g60 box or a 1.8t one, designdubs will sort ya out in a jiffy mate
As prof said.. think you should be happy it lasted 4 hours!!!! and i would fit a LSD Or a Mk3 2L 16v as i've been informed they are the same gearing as the Mk4 1.8T. sorry to here about the loss though [:^(]
Just to stop any confusion, this thread was not meant to come across as slating dubsport. We did talk about a mk4 box but i decided against it at the time - cos i didnt think it would be an issue.
