Times I've heard this noise something has been touching the pressure plate or the throw out bearing went out. Either way, sounds like it's time to pull the tranny.

Thats what im afraid of ... Sad part is it was just pulled 4k miles ago for a new clutch/flywheel setup. I guess thats what happens when you let small town folks work on a vdub.

He looked kinda like this :

I hear they do custom work on Audi's so i thought i could trust em.

Time to do work! .... The car is finally going to make it to the shop. Man i miss my car

Hopefully these will fix some of my problems..

Barry I got the axle from Bap ... Matt down there was really cool. Set everything up hassle free. Will do business again.

As for MJMautohaus... I love your prices... but cant stand Juan in parts... He is worthless.

Then i guess Chris will be hearing from me to start putting together my stage 2 kit

I miss the Springs and need to visit real soon.

Get that thing fixed and get out here soon. Make sure it is on a dry day, I want a ride in it now that the charger is putting down some pressure.

Anybody ever tried to save a DV? Here is the one that caused all of the headaches taken apart. Looks like it isnt a piston style DV but a diaphragm style. I dont really wanna be a cheap ass but if it is salvageable then why not. Any tips?

LOS · « **Reply #83 on:** November 15, 2008, 12:19:15 PM »

You might be able to order a new diaphram for it. Go to forge and see... Im assuming thats the forge r one right?

brandonb85 · « **Reply #84 on:** November 15, 2008, 12:31:29 PM »

Yea it is a forge... its odd... In the US forge motorsports site they dont sell just the diaphragm but if you go to the UK one they do

Bad News....

Transmission is shot... So im on the hunt for a tranny... I currently have an O2j but hate the way the shift tower works with the plastic clip... Any other solutions?

Anyone got sources on VW parts? Or some good junk yards.. I really hope i can pick one up fairly cheap..

And of course pictures of the carnage or it didnt happen

(cell phone pic... more to come)

Smokestack · « **Reply #89 on:** November 19, 2008, 05:09:11 PM »

Ouch!

Guess it's good incentive to put a diff-bolt kit in, or upgrade to a limited slip, on the next one.

Maybe CL?

Other than that I see a lot of cheap passats, or u-pull in the springs has a passat with a manual. I've got no idea if they'll bolt up, or are even the same thing, as a mk4 vr trans.

brandonb85 · « **Reply #90 on:** November 19, 2008, 06:08:35 PM »

In my research this is what i have found...

I need an O2J "EGF" code... 5-speed

I want this... but not that price..

Smokestack · « **Reply #91 on:** November 19, 2008, 06:17:33 PM »

How much is it? Might be worth it, but I never liked painted transmissions. Seen a few too many hiding JB Weld fixes that way.

Jesus · « **Reply #92 on:** November 19, 2008, 06:33:52 PM »

There's an O2M on the top of page 4, Rocky Mountain For Sale thread.

/that is all

brandonb85 · « **Reply #93 on:** November 19, 2008, 08:14:09 PM »

Is the O2m a 6 speed? I dont really want to go 6 the 5 is so wide.... and i would have to swap out the shifter box and the works...

I believe the o2m came in a 5 speed as well. Just had a blank spot where the 6th speed goes. 6 speeds aren't that bad though.

LOS · « **Reply #95 on:** November 19, 2008, 11:52:04 PM »

i think 02ms were all 6 speed

Just bought both of them.... Now i just need to find someone to piece together 3 trannys lol

Smokestack · « **Reply #97 on:** November 20, 2008, 03:11:48 PM »

Boner or slownomore (if he's still in this state) might be able to help you. Other than that...? I've rebuilt plenty of t-cases and rwd/4x4 manuals before, but vw likes to throw specialty tools at you a lot on top of the fact they add a differential into the mix. I might be able to help you put one together, but I'd leave that as an absolute last resort seeing how I've never torn apart a fwd trans before. Where's the hole at in the diff of that trans you bought?

slownomore · « **Reply #98 on:** November 20, 2008, 03:20:20 PM »

Im still in the state but as for rebuilding a trans ive done 2 in my life and that was years ago at school... I havent since then and i have full intentions of never doing it again... lol

yokust · « **Reply #99 on:** November 20, 2008, 07:36:39 PM »

To put in a 02M in a mk4 is very easy.

Trans
Axles
Clutch line from master to slave
Cable bracket on trans
Trans mount bracket

Cables and shifter box are the same, master cyl is the same
