do the early a3's use cable shift with aaz?
« on: November 02, 2007, 07:23:53 pm »
Just wondering if the aaz  engines use the cable shift trans or did they continue with the linkage for awhile? or did all a3 use cable shift?

That's a strange statement, because I have a tranny from a 1996 Passat and it's linkage. :?

Just to clear things up the passat with AAZ or TDI all had cable shift trans.The diesel MK3 Jetta only got cable shift trans with the TDI 97.5-99.

did the trans come out of a 2l ABA passat.  I've seen a couple of those with the linkage...

MK3 with the 2.0 ABA engine had a cable shift tranny (02a), the early 1.8 8v,  MK3 engines were linkage, IDI diesels were linkage, VR6 were cable so were TDI.

Unless it's in a 93 and up Passat, in which case it may well have a cable... like my brother's AAZ-equipped 1994 Passat.
