I have a few heat shields still available if anyone wants one?

[Chris S]

I missed it this year, so its 2 days late! 11 years & counting. []

To fit a cable change box you need a G60 flywheel & clutch.

for a rod change box the clutch is smaller diameter.

btw a 16v friction plate will not fit as the splines are different on the 8v (rodchange) gearbox input shaft.

[Chris S]

I will look this evening for you.

[Chris S]

Sorted & part on the way!

[Chris S]

I just heard back from my partsman & it is no longer available from VW anywhere in the world.

[Chris S]

How many bolts do you have bolting the mounting console to the block, 3 or 4?

[Chris S]

To be honest I have refitted them in this condition without any problems.

[Chris S]

Here is a brand new one

009 409 143 C Triebsatz Classic+ Teil 354.69 €

Spare part is available in limited quantities

[Chris S]

it looks like there is damage to the bearing cage as well,

what does the pinion look like?

[Chris S]

No unfortunately I don’t.

I might have a standard pair (p/n 009 409 143 with a 67/15 tooth pattern) about somewhere though, not sure till I look.

[Chris S]

However, just wondered whether it is possible to use output shaft from AXR and crown wheel from diesel tranny.
Any ideas whether that will work?

Sorry but it wont work because the pinion & crown wheel gears are a matched pair, you cant even but them seperately from VW, only as a pair,

btw do you have skype? you can e-mail me your skype adress.

[Chris S]

The 2 gears (Crown wheel & Pinion)are a matched pair and the AXR Country gearbox is the only box in the VW range to use a 68/14 tooth ratio, the std syncro uses p/n 009 409 143 with a 67/15 tooth pattern.

you could fit a complete standard Golf Syncro gearbox, this will lower your revs slightly at speed & increase your fuel economy but other than thay you wont notice much difference.

[Chris S]

As you say you have acess to ETKA can you please post part numbers so we know we are talking about the same part(s)

I think you mean part nr 009 409 143C can you confirm this please?

[Chris S]

I just emailed my partsman & am awaiting reply.

meanwhile here is 1 on eBay
