Best 5spd gearbox for a PD150 engine

[Amit]

I was under the impression that the 02J was stronger than the 02A which is why I wanted the 02J.

I think the difference is in the way the diff is put together, since 02A and 02J share the same gear sets.

The mk3 box I have is externally an 02A, but it has an 02J diff - presumably to handle the torque of the TDI.

If you do want to swap then PM me so we can sort something out. I'll pull the box from my car and meet you somewhere in the spare car
