So I am in a garage-cleanout mode, and need to generate cashola anyway.  

I have too many 020 gearboxes (these are on Vortex for a few dollars more, fyi)

2Y   16V close ratio box    $200

FF   Wide ratio mileage box  $75

FN   Wide ratio mileage box  $75

7G   EURO Close ratio box  $200
       needs flange seals, 3.65 ring & pinion with close ratio gears.  


AXLES:  I have like 20 axle shafts.  All A1 or A2. Make me an offer.  Cheap.  


More on the way - if you know I have something and you want it, make me an offer, I am in the mood to get rid of stuff.  (IE, 50mm 16V manifold, A1 TT 16V & 8V downpipes, 16V head & cams, 8V exhaust manifolds, shift linkages, engine mounts, AC compressors, etc etc.)

hey man, I need a five speed for the 78 I just bought.  It has a frikin 4spd that is definately not codusive to good acceleration.  Whats the euro tight ratio? Is it the same as the A1GTI Tightratio? Or is the GTI the 020? I can't remember

[Scott]

they are all O2O... it is the code you are concerned with... geez, get your crap in order rookie!!

greg got any b3 axles or tie rods?  They aren't the same as mk2's right?

[DutchVDub]

oof, so sorry scott, great and mighty wizard of vw knowledge

so then what is that 7G EURO Close ratio box $200 ? Is it the same as the RabbitGTI tranny or what?  Maybe you could actually answer my question before insulting me. jerk. I hate you!!!!! Actually I don't, but answer the question

[DutchVDub]

ok, now that scott has pmed me and gotten me staight then yes greg, I want that 7G.  Can we work something out, I already spent too much money on myself for christmas and have yet to buy my family or friends anything.  Maybe you could leave it in a corner for me and I'll get it next month? Let me know because I really want it.  And I can give you some cash to hold for me btw

The link shows most trans/ and their gear ratios.  

The FF & FN have widely spaced ratios and 3.89 ring & pinion.  Because of the widely spaced ratios, it is great for an economy box/freeway cruiser, or if you have 200+hp and a light car.  At 3500rpm, you will be going aroudn 83mph.

The 7G is a close ratio GTI trans that has a 3.65 ring and pinion, but with the gears close together.  It is the most relaxed cruising gearbox you can have along with the sporty close ratios.  At 3500rpm you will be going 69-70mph.  

The 2Y is a 16V unit, with a larger mainshaft and the close ratio internals.  Weighs a touch more, but not really worth mentioning.  It has a 3.67 ring and pinion, so about as close to the 7G as possible, but in a beefier package.  If you were planning a lot more power in the future, this would be a good box.  Also about 70mph at 3500rpm.  


The taller 5th gears from the wide ratio boxes can be put in a close ratio box for more relaxed cruising, but you get a big drop between 4th and 5th, and unless your engine has 120+hp, you won't like it because 5th will be a level and downhill only gear.  

I have the 5 speed linkage parts I would throw in if you need them.

No B3 axles, and I don't know them well enough to say they will swap.  I think so, because the Corr G60 axles I just got rid of were the same as the A2 axles I had, and I thought most of the Passat 4cyl & G60 front suspension was similar.  Search Vortex to be sure.

[Scott]

B3 axles are longer....

[greggearhead]

7G Box is sold.

FN box is sold.  About 6 axles gone.
