Mk3 5speed gearbox

Featured Replies

Afternoon folks, my gearbox doesn't seem to be very well, but would like to just replace when I remove and then investigate, so the car is off the road for the shortest amount of time. A decent G40 box would be ideal, but more likely and more affordable is likely to be a good 8p box from a 1.3 5speed mk3. So if anyone has anything that they think may foot the bill. Give me a shout! Will travel for a decent box/deal.

Cheers folks Rich

Got a box out of my old mk3 Golf ABD. Worked flawlessly, and I kept it as a spare for my mk1 after I converted the mk3 to a VR6. Is the same as a mk3 polo box so a straight fit.

£50, I'm in stockport.

Cheers for the offer matey, i'm not sure the ratios are correct for what i want, but i'll look into it. I know its from an ABD engine, but do you have the gearbox code please?

Just been and taken a pic of the code.

Does these markings help you at all?

I have the one currently fitted in my mk1 Golf for sale too. I'll check what code it is but Gaz who I bought it off informed me it was close to 8P ratios.
