Swapping the 1.6L for a 1.8L and 5 speed

Hmmm confusing stuff

Think the 5 speed i got is a Mk2 item? not tooo sure, might have to ask the previous owner..

90mm flanges are everywhere..... 4 speeds

I've been told that the flanges are different between 4 speeds and 5 speeds?? the offset of them or something.

ahh i think your right.... but some seem to work... hmm

There are 3 kinds of flanges

90mm 4 speed ones, that only fit 4 speeds.

90mm 5 speed ones which have a step in for the oil seal and stick out further than the 4 speed ones.
(These are found on MK1 GTI gearboxes and Early Mk2, including diesels)

100mm ones as found on later Mk2 and Mk3s.

Actually there are also 90mm ones on Golf 4 1.6 boxes, but they are different as they are held in with a bolt, not a circlip.

Hope that clears it up, I know my gearboxes

[Jarred]

yea it does, thanks loon!

btw, do you happen to have any 90mm 5 speed flanges lying around?

WIN!

i guess i'm lucky - every 5 speed i've had to put in a mk1 has already had 90mm flanges on it..

[dub be good to me]

Was hoping you'd drop in and clear it up!
