curious as to power potentials with 1.6L td

[dankcorey22]

Will the ACN 5 speed fit an engine code CY without any mods to anything? Mines a 83 jetta 1.6 td
Im looking for a good used transmission mine went out and im looking to cruise at 75 to 80 MPH.
Because the transmission shop wants $400 plus labor to rebuild the stock one. and i can buy a good used one cheaper.

Thanks in advance

it will bolt to the engine. but its gonna have to have the 3 studs on the final drive to bolt up the rear trans mount.

good trans too, nice close 1-4, with a super high fifth. my GTI has one and does pretty good actualy, but the trans was bought for a diesel, just used it because i blew up my GTI trans and only had that trans to replace it with.

For those who are curious, I have not really noticed an increase or decrease in MPG.  Might be the way I drive though...

so your saying i could get some parts from lowes and put it in, so i wont have to have special parts.

if you have all the mk1 5 speed specific parts, it will pretty much bolt right in. your cars an 83 jetta right?

That is pretty much all the information you need.

if you have a 020 transmission in your car right now, (if it is an 83 jetta it has a 020 trans) then you can swap any other 020 type transmission in its place, with the exception of...

the axle flanges come in two different sizes 90mm and 100mm, 100mm being on later models. I believe all 4 speeds transmission had 90mm flanges

The other difference is how the transmission bolts to its transmission support.  Earlier models used studs and later models used holes.

You can see the mounting differences here: http://brokevw.com/020mount.html

Forum courtesy dictates that you do not post a question that is not relevant to the thread.

Start your own thread and people will respond, but use the search function first as people get tired answering the same questions frequently.

Take care.

yea, then just pull all the specific parts off a mk1 car, then you can bolt in almost whatever trans you want. you will need the trans mount, shift linkages, the ball on the relay shaft, and maybe a couple other parts, its been so long since ive done a conversion.

I have all the parts off of the stock transmission. but i guess your saying they differ?
