Hi all,

 

My car has just started to sound like a train when in first gear, does anyone know what gearbox's will fit (ie golf 150bhp).

 

If i can't get it done quite quick its looking like my car is gonna have to go (which i don't really want to do)

 

Any help would be great

 

Many Thanks

Pretty sure any 5 speed from a 1.8 t will do, although the ratios might be different depending on the car.

 

Have you checked the breaking section on here to see if anyone has one?, Vrs should be 02j EHA, AGU golf engine box will probably fit, but ratios will be slightly shorter.

quite a few cheap cars on facebook market place at the moment (golfs and octy's) - one local to me for £425 with MOT!

There was a thread on here not that long ago with some good info:

 

I put a Golf Gti box in mine with an EVS code. At the time, Octavia vrs EHA boxes were going for silly money and it was loads cheaper. The ratios in the EVS box are the same but it has an ever so slightly different final drive which has made no noticable difference in acceleration but does drop about 200 revs when cruising on the motorway so fuel economy has improved.
