Gearbox question

[Bonusrocco]

I have a mk2 golf 16v gearbox to swap into my 1.6 carb 4 speed GLS. Can someone confirm this is a straight swap, or will I need to find a different clutch? Any other issues?

Thanks

Different clutch, pressure plate and flywheel. The 16v box has a 210mm set-up whereas your 1.6 has 190mm - and the clutch disc on the 16v has a larger spline.

Any mk2 Scirocco/Golf injected car can be a donor for the flywheel (and mk3 2.0 8v Golf as well) and the clutch disc/pressure plate will come in a kit - for a mk2 Golf 16v or mk3 Golf 8v.

That's the easy bit - you will also need to swap out all the gear linkage with a 5 speed car.

Oh, and your driveshafts won't fit because the inner cvs have a 90mm flange whereas the gearbox has 100mm flanges. A 1984-on injected Scirocco can provided the donor driveshafts or you may be able to swap the flanges on the 16v box with 90mm ones (not sure on the latter point).

Thanks Mr Brown!
