Transmission Rebuild?

[smutts]

If you are doing surgery on the gearbox, BOLT KIT THE CROWNWHEEL! The suicide rivets will be SO disappointed if you do.

I have an ACN with a .71 5th and it's great on flat highway with my 1.6td. That's another nice thing about building your own or having a vw specialist build your trans as opposed to your local tranny shop. You can have it custom geared to your engine and driving habits. I used to have a 4S trans, which is one of the oem diesel trans' and it absolutely sucked on the highway. Buzzing at 3000 rpm @ 100 km/h and the egt's were nearly maxing out.

ACN came with a .75 fifth gear.. so you dropped a whole 40? rpms on that upgrade?

If you need a new ring and pinon for your build ?


90 % percent are shot

Do install a arp bolt kit in your build

I have a new set 3.67

GB

see i dont know if the 3.67 R&P is geared higher (as in go faster) or geared lower (as in 70mph is 3K RPM  )  than mine already (

what trans is in your car?

3.67 is the tallest gears you can get for a VW 020..

AMEN to that. My old CHD started making diff bearing noises, so I got a shop to do the diff bearings for me. I asked them to do the rign gear rivets at the same time, but they didnt do it ( they said they didn't figure out what size they needed, 12 or 14mm).

3 weeks later, one of the rivets sheared off and went through the casing. luckily the shop that did the 'rebuild' for me met me half way and supplied me with all the bits to do a 02A cable shift conversion for cheap.

The original fifth was toast. I wouldn't have taken the time otherwise.

that was the only logical answer i could find too.. dunno why someone would swap put a great 5th gear, for another equally great 5th gear, just for 40 less rpms..

I have a set of 90 mm axles also with less than 1k miles, 100.00 shipped
if you need them...
MK1 type

GB

[R.O.R-2.0]

i have some 90mm flanges, if you want one, i will sell you one.. way cheaper than 100 bucks too. pm me if you feel like it. 100 bucks for 2 flanges is kinda expensive if you ask me. and i dont run 90mm flanges anymore. i like 100s better, even tho 90's are easier to take the axle off of..

*EDIT*

-i have both early and late style flanges. the ones for the conical washers, and the ones without..

but if you got an 83 car, it probably takes the non-conical washer kind..

either way.. got both kinds.-

I sent vw transaxles a CHD,it had bad Ring & pinon gear and a peloquin

He did 16V internal's and a FF final 3.67/ .71

He sent the case back to me for powdercoating and I returned it back to him with a complete set of ARP external bolt's ( 12 PT Stainless Steel)

OHC was 1089.00
Bolt kit 105.00
Peloquin 785.00
Powder Coating satin black 85.00

I was tring to find a 3.42 Ring and pinon , But no luck...

16v internals and mk3 internals are identical, minus the gear layout.. and im 99% positive you cant mix and match r&p... or fifth gear...

16v/mk3 trannies have a BIGGER input shaft, and pinion shaft, and as a result, every shaft in the trans is bigger than a regular old 8v unit..

i dont see how its possible to have a 16v gear set, with an 8v 5th gear, and a 8v ring and pinion, unless it was a mk3 3.67 unit..

in an 8v trans, the input shaft, and the pinion shaft are both SMALLER.. 8v and 16v 5th gears have different I.D.

this seems like a set of 159mm rods with 16v pistons properly pressed on..

(i could be wrong)

[GEE-BEE]

it is a late chd MKIII trans

100 mm inners and 90 mm outers with new axles, No more wheel spin, perfect

pfft, i take that back GeeBee, that is a FAIRLY SMOKIN DEAL. $100 for 2 axles and the flanges..

[dankcorey22]

Im not gonna buy anything until i rebuild that trans. (that is when i get the money and call some people for prices) Long process

All of Gee Bee's posts MUST contain dollar amounts . Doesn't mean you have to buy it.
