Gearbox Rebuild

[MK2 GTI]

Hey everyone, my gearbox started to make noises a few weekends ago, so i decided to pull it out and check it out. I thought i may aswell write a thread about it.

Box In


Box Out


Anyone For 5-Speed parts? Lol


The noise ended up being a chipped pinion and ring gear and a collapsed output shaft bearing but i couldn't get pics of that because it fell into a million peices. Im Suprized these chips didn't make that much noise, it was only a faint whine.

The spider gears in the middle were also chewed out but it's a bit hard to see in the pics.


The new pinion and ring gear, these are alot of $$$$ lol.


i will post more pics when i build it and put it back into the car tommorow and hopefully she will be like new again.

Nice description. Looks like a big jigsaw without the box. Hope you know where all the bits go.

i also finished it last night (Friday) and it goes great, I also ended up chucking a wheel bearing in the passenger side.
