Leebo 3 Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 Hi mate, I've done the 2.3 box change on my Passat vr... It's running a AAA engine.. I can't remember the actual box code but it went on fine.. I know some say you have to drill the starter holes but I didn't have to... Hope you get it sorted soon.. Link to post Share on other sites
mk2redvr6 9 Posted February 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 Thanks leebo I hoping everything goes on smooth The starter motor was pissing me off .mine's a AAA code so hopefully should fit Did you have to drill any other holes or anything and did the gear cables go on ok Link to post Share on other sites
Leebo 3 Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 Yea all the cables matched up.. I broke the big black clip that holds it all together but they're cheap enough to buy again... All the holes match up.. I had to get some flanges from a golf I think as the shafts were 100mm and the flanges an the Bora box were 110mm.. apart from that it was a straight swap... I'm not overly keen on the new box.. I lost about 10 -15 mph top end but it does feel quicker.. you change gears more often too.. if it's a daily I'd not bother but for a track or weekend toy you'll be fine..

Leebo 3 Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 No worries dude.. sorry I can't be more help.. it was last august I did mine before the retrorides gathering.. I lent it to my cousin while we worked on his MX.. he had it 2 weeks and blew a hole in the box... as far as I remember tho it's all straight forward.. nothing needed chopping.. Thinking about the gear mech I'm sure I just unbolted the tower off the box and just swapped it over .. clutch was a vr.. can't remember if I swapped clutch fork.. the slave cylinder bolts on fine.. apart from the flanges that was it... A ball ache doing it on axle stands too... Link to post Share on other sites
