16 v gearbox

please help ,ive just blown my gbox on my valver (2y i presume ,1991) are the mkiii gti boxes the same or any other options ??????????/

 

i think its specific to mk2 16v...the 8v can can be fitted but the output flanges and ratios are differant

i may know of a working gearbox

 

You can put any old box on... but yo will have to change the clkutch and flywheel as the 16v output shaft is larger -- it has 1 extra spline on it.

 

cheer pigbladder, can u find out if you can source one .

 

there's one on ebay at the mo

 

ive just been told the mk3 20 8v is the exact same box .
is this true ??

 

No

 

so wots dirrerent from the 16v ?

 

so your saying the mk3 gti box has not got the extra spline !!

 

Not the 8v one...

 

WHAT ABOUT THE MK3 20 16V ??
I SPOKE TO A BLOKE AT MIDLAND VW , HE SIAD THE MK3 8V WAS THE SAME !! OVIOUSLY NOT !!!

 

My mistake then... if Jody said it would fit then it will. H'es never wrong.

 

if you are anywhere near hull, give willinghams car spares are ring, or go on their website;

i was there last weekend and there is a 16v mk2 with a 2y gearbox on it.

a mk3 8v box may fit


but it's not the same box

 

Unless your racing or otherwise hammer the car to hell you might as well fit an 8V box and new 8V clutch, cheaper / easier to replace next time Course, acceleration low down will be a bit harder without revving more as the ratioes are slightly lower on the 8V box, but not by much.

 

just get a 2Y box from a decent breakers. pay about 150 for one from and get a guarantee.

 

Almost. The CHE, DFQ, and AMC coded boxes are (over here anyway) on the MK3 8V 2.0L and are a 24mm input shaft, just like the MK2 16V boxes. A direct fit in terms of clutch fitment and flange fitment (100mm).

The ratios will be different.
The 2Y and AGB boxes (MK2 16V) are 2.118 - 1.444 - 1.129 - 0.912 (those are gears 2-5 ratios)
The AMC, CHE, and DFQ are 1.944 - 1.286 - 0.969 - 0.805 for gears 2-5.
First, reverse, and the final drive remains the same.

Broke

 

How are going to settle the speedometer gear?Because mk2 speedo gear and mk3 speedo gear is totally different the mounting point to the box also different.

 

ye ok if you can find one !!!
didntknow about the mk2/mk3 speedo diference ?
ive decided to have a go at rebuilding my box , ive nothing to lose !! my mate recently rebuilt a mk4 gti box with good results , so we`ll have a go !!

thanks to you all for your input .
