MK3 GL -->1.8t swap?

[Shteifen]

ive been wondering about thse transmission codes. where exactly on the box does it say 02A or J or M or whatever. because ive looked at work and they all have numbers like DLH or something similar to that. nothing in the way of 02a/j/m etc

like i assumed those codes might have only applied to america (since those forums are the only ones ive heard those codes talked about really) and ours must have been different

they're the same the world over... just the gearbox codes. you might be thinking of part numbers but those codes are definitely standard everywhere on all vw's.

do they say those codes on the boxes? i dont think ive had a really good look for them but i sure havnt noticed them before, and in the computer when i look up a car, even mine and look at the transmission details it doesnt say anything about 020 which i believe mine is, being a 95 GL

[h100vw]

020 is a rod change mechanism type box, fitted in mk1s 2s and 3s, the 02A is a cable change box fitted in mk2 G60s, passats, mk3s inc 16V and VR6. The 02J is in the mk4 Golf, Jetta, the 02M is a 6 speed in the mk4, Leon etc.

The gearbox codes in ETKA refer to the box and its ratios.
