Anyone have recommendations for 020 box rebuilders in Melbourne. Need to weigh up cost of giving it a go myself vs having an expert weave their magic

Peter Jones please chime in! -
To be honest, I haven't had a lot of joy getting 020s rebuilt.
Geoff Hale has some good results from Baker Bros, I think they're in Oakleigh somewhere.
I've got one apart on the bench now. One day I'll figure out how to put it back together.79 MK1 Golf Wreck to Race / 79 MK1 Golf The Red Thread / 76 MK1 Golf Kamei Race Car

If you need advice there's a guy on the ClubGTI forum called Hotgolf. He's the gearbox guru.1978 MK1 2.0 16v http://www.vwwatercooled.com.au/foru...-46488-70.html

Yes, Oakleigh/Huntigdale. Real old school, walk in the door and get cancer type of place, only open in the afternoon, zero marketing, not who you know but what you know (although they know everyone who is anyone in the scene)Comment

Unless you have the tools and complete shim selection I wouldn''t bother doing it yourself if you want a rebuild that will have some degree of lifespan. Yes you can slap them back together if your only wanting a bodge job but to have some kind of trust in the transaxle it needs to be done correctly.
I have done at least 4 now, ( 2 with wavetrac and diff bolt installs ) with assistance from Brian at brokevw.com ( for parts mainly ) as some 020 internal bits are NLA ( 25 mm bore mainshaft bearing for instance for the early series boxes ) 16V trans have a few different parts in them as well...
Wavetrac install.Last edited by roccodingo; 28-11-2015, 12:22 AM.Lots of MK 1 Scirocco's...
If it aint a MK 1 then it must be a donor car ??

Lloyd Davies at Volkswerke used to do a lot of gearboxes, so he has good knowledge about the product.Originally posted by dubstar View PostComment
