Someone once posted a great step-by-step for A2 transmission removal on
the list. Does anyone still have it?
My '85 8v GTI w/ Audi 2.0l block has a really bad 2nd gear syncho and
the clutch is scarilly stiff and starting to slip for some reason. I've
gone through and replaced the cable and its still really bad. Until
both issues are fixed, I don't really feel like taking the car to the
track and running it hard. So, I was thinking of swapping in a used
tranny and a new clutch kit sometime in the next week or two while I'm
inbetween jobs. I guess my question is this:
What transmissions will fit? Currently it's running around with a 16v
scirocco transmission. What are the differences between 16v and 8v
transmissions, old and new, etc? Output shafts and clutches were
different, correct? While I'm there I've got a bad CV joint so I'll
probably rebuild most of that stuff...do wheel bearings, CV/axles,
clutch and transmission. Might as well. I have time to kill and it's
going to see _A LOT_ of miles this fall.
