:twisted: My dad exploded reverse in my AWY last night so I'm looking for a tranny too. Anybody in Ontario got something that'll work in a 92 Golf non-turbo?Thanks, Steve
Via Drew MacPherson (on the scirocco mailing list): Here's a chart of transmission code and axle flanges (A2 transmissions) from the VW parts catalogue. There may be some aaplications missing, butI tried to cover most of them. I did not specify gas vs diesel, but I think as a ROT most gas transmissions in Dijifant applications (ie 100hp and up) are 100mm flanges, while most CIS and Diesel applications (85-90 hp) are 90mm flanges. 90 mm flangeCode (Application)++++ ++++++++++++ACN (07/84-09/86 GOLF) (08/84-07/85 JETTA)ACH (07/84-09/86 GOLF) (08/84-07/85 JETTA)AGS (08/86-07/87 GOLF) (08/86-07/87 GOLF)AOP (08/88-07/89 GOLF) (10/87-07/88 JETTA)AEN (11/87-07/88 JETTA)ASF (09/87-05/88 GOLF) (09/87-05/88 JETTA)4S (08/87-08/88 JETTA)AWY (08/89-07/91 GOLF) (08/89-07/90 JETTA)AVX (01/91-07/92 JETTA)
I have a TD so I have a *little* bit of power, so I think I can get away with that gearing...
Can anyone else vouch for the 3.67's being hard to launch? I don't mean to sound skeptical, but it doesn't seem to me like it would make that big of a difference, especially in first gear. Plus, they're cheap :-)Thanks,Ray
Is 300CDN a fair wrecker price for a 4S? I don't know what the mileage is on it but I imagine it is pretty high...I looked at two cars today with over 500K km on each of them by the looks of the bodies and spare IPs in the trunks. They didn't even have their origional engines anymore so I wasn't willing to buy a gearbox from them.Maybe I'll try a gas transmission since I can get an entire car for 300. When I'm driving the AWY in my non-turbo I'll lug around in 5th gear doing 50 km/hr so I may enjoy having the gas gear ratio. Anyone else running a gas gearbox?Steve
Chrissev: I'm all ears on where to get a good used transmission for that price. Woody's in Cobden is a VW place and so far he's the only person I talked to that knew the code of the transmission. He's also about the same distance from my place as Toronto. Everybody in Sudbury wants 350 for "whatever is in that there 92". Is your contact pretty reliable? I don't want to show up in Toronto to find a grease ball transmission that's been to the moon and back after being told it only has 150K km on it. This is a pretty common practice from wreckers. :?
