VR6Pete 1,455 Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 All you need is a G60 final drive, and LSD. job done mate. 3.68 final drive it is. Link to post Share on other sites
FishWick 21 Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 Aye, no semis, KYs, clutches or buttons required, just the good old shorter final drive as the Pete man said :-)Although, if you want some tasty 6 speed action the easy way, get an 02S from a non-GTI MK5 Golf, Leon etc. It's basically a 6 speed O2A, but made by VW, so will be reliable and bolt onto the existing mounts etc, no need for new driveshafts and welding like the 02M."But the 02S is a 4 cylinder gearbox" I hear you cry. Indeed it is. A gentleman on the Corrado forum has fitted one to his VR6 by basically swapping the gears into his VR6 bell housing. Sweet.One caveat though, this box is no stronger than the 02A 5sp (possibly a little weaker actually) so it's no good for 350lbft + action. For that you do need the 02M.
