So I was wandering around the jy the other day and found a 88 jetta (gasser) partly stripped and with the tranny removed and sitting in the trunk.The tranny is a AON code and the same gearing as a ASF, ACN and ACL. Do these codes have desirable ratios?Don't know the price but I think I could get it for around $100......(if I don't tell 'em it's already pulled)
Acceleration would be non existent with this transmission attached to a 1.6 non turbo diesel. The 3.67 Final drive a.k.a the rear end gears (which might make this easier to picture) make a huge difference on the amount of Acceleration or Top Speed a car is able to put down. The 0.27 difference (3.67-3.94) in the ratios is pretty substantial. There is a reason why the v8 rwd boys swap the rear gears out as one of the easy things to get more power to the ground. Sure you loose top speed, but how often are you really going to be going over 90mph? Pretty much never Also the 85 hp 1.8L gas engine puts down 98 tq. As compared to the 72 tq a 1.6 na diesel does. The 85 hp gas engine puts down the same tq as a 1.6td, so yeah the AON, ACN, ACL, ASF is perfectly suited for a 95+ tq engine. Anything less and i'm sure it'd be horrible. Another thing to consider is if it were suitably matched for the diesel motors you would more than likely see a lot more with them. Also, Happy birthday k3vo!! That gti probably woulda hauled way more ass if it had a 3.94 FD lol
I swapped the AVX that was in my eco with an ASF, and it was a major improvement to the overall driveability. Those four codes seem to be the most sought after trannies. A hundo is a great price.
Yup that's the difference is when the torque actually kicks in, diesel's make it down low while gassers gotta rev to get torque.
As noted by 8V of Fury, the 3.67 R&P is great for any TD or 1.9 application. For 1.6 NA, it's not so great. The final drive isn't the problem, it's the Ring and Pinion. The higher the number, the higher the one-the-ground torque. The 3.67 is a great freeway flyer, but getting up to those speeds can be frustrating in a 1.6NA. And, you can forget about backing up a hill without burning up your clutch.I've tried just about every VW trans on a 1.6 NA, and the only good ones were the 5-speeds originally fitted to 1980-1989 cars. Those include the FF, FO, FN, AOP, ACH, AGS, 7A, and 4S. After 1989 (AWY and AVX), the gearing sucks.
