Hello all 

A question about the manual gearbox.has anyone else had any problems with the five speed box.

My 2008 superb has developed a rotten whine noise very noticeable at 40mph low speeds.have replaced the clutch and flywheel with a sachs dual mass flywheel and new clutch 

New tyres.new discs and pads all round.checked wheel bearings all good.so it all down to gear box I think?

I have a passat b.5b five speed box with very low miles on engine it came off.

Will this gearbox fit my skoda superb? Are they the same fitment 

Any help with this please 🙏 

As you have posted in the mkII Superb section I'm presuming you have a mkII Superb as the mkI was also still available this year.

 

The mkII Superb has a transverse engine / gearbox and the B5 has an inline North/South engine/gearbox so is in a totally different orientation .

 

NB

 

The earlier mkI Superb is inline.

The later B6 Passat is transverse.

 

Have you got a local gearbox specialist? I had the gearbox rebuilt on a Fist Panda for about £600 ish all in including clutch and any components within the bellhousing (my request).

Hi Big John

Thanks for your help and information 

My mistake on mk2

My skoda is same model as 02 superb to 08 same as pd engine 

115bhp classic. Same engine setup as b.5b passat.

Engine cade BPZ 1.9tdi

I think they have the same mechanical bits. Double check both gearboxes have the same slave cylinder arrangements etc 

 

You might get a better response if the mods could move this to the Superb mkI Forum

Hello 

Well the gear box from the b.5b passat 2005 fitted my 08 superb with no problems.and cured my problem.no more noise at low speeds .driving perfectly now. 

 

Thanks for all the info and help.

Great outcome 🙂
