Gearbox crack

I'd def look at the 6 speed conversion
Any excuse for an upgrade

Any excuse for an upgrade

Thats the spirit!

I have the ssman box (and a very nice 3" end to end exhaust) which will be installed in the next month. I will then have the current gearbox (noise in first gear so needs looking at although it is running fine save for the noise) out of the car and up for sale. Freight to Qld would be probably be a bitch.

I have a quote of a solid 4 hours for gearbox changeover from a VW/Audi specialist.

I shipped an engine and gearbox from Brisbane to Adelaide for well under $100 with e-go.

Out of curiosity, what kind of money are you thinking of for the bad box?

Gav, yet to be determined. In looking for a box it was clear that there are surprisingly few around. My son drives the car but I seem to be paying the bills so it would be nice to see the cash flow in the other direction. No doubt my son will be pleased at your interest with the next month seeing the install of gearbox, front mount inter cooler and exhaust, he is going to need a new tune and you just happen to be the preferred supplier - all that of course does not help me recover any funds. Feel free to pm your thoughts on $.

That's what I'm thinking too

Bit confused about whether the 02S JWX is the right one (https://www.ebay.com.au/ulk/itm/131621651828).

Gav - not sure about best options for clutch and fly. Might give you a buzz.

Thanks for the reference point.

Sorry to see this dude. Ouch.

By way of the clutch, I run stage 2 ECS with a lightened fly wheel, Gavin may run the same too... These are ample IMO as the car will lose traction before the clutch is particularly loaded. There's quite a few heavily modded polo's getting around on factory clutches, e.g. Troy. My set-up is absolutely fine for daily driving, though noise is evident when the clutch is out, car in neutral and air con on.

This is mine, with the flywheel from the ECS stage 1 kit.

Have you found out the cause - cracked casing due to god knows what or casing cracked by internal failure?
