FS: FF transmission---SOLD

[rs899]

What if the FF came out of a later Cabrio? Or did the later Cabrio come with them?

I have an FF in my '81 Cabriolet ( actually Rabbit Convertible, soon to be diesel powered).  I don't know how long they had FFs in them.

my situation still stands if this is what i need for my caddy.  problem is the shipping which is zip code:  95831

no clue if there is room in there for both of us to get a deal.

I can ship from my dad's fedex account, I bet it will be less than 90.00. I shipped and AAZ to Colorado just around Denver area for 90.00. It is a lot heavier than the FF.

well let me know what ya could do shipped to my door, i got money and am going to need a tranny for my caddy shell so i assume this will work?

guy tells me mine has all the shift linkage/brackets for a 5 speed so i guess this tranny mates to its stock form and wiring and thats what i want right?

i  haven't actually looked into this yet because i got other stuff on my plate.

Too bad you aren't closer.  I am picking up a caddy this week and the guy has a tranny for $300.  Somebody from here shipped me a tranny fedex I think it was.  I want to say it was just under $100 which surprised me but he had a nice box ready for it.

Is this tranny the best mate for a turbo diesel engine and gettting good mileage?

personally, i would NOT run 3.94 gears with a diesel...

the ACN style boxes are my favorite factory boxes.. very available too!

i dont mean to sway anyone from buying lucas's tranny tho.. its still a ***in box to have around. its not an ACN, but its damn close!

3.89 gears and yes this is a good trans to put behind a diesel. The ring, 3rd, 4th, and of course 5th are different, but not much.
FWIW the best mileage I ever got with these diesels was in my older 81 rabbit that had the FF. It had a 1.6 with 11mm headbolts too, but I consistantly got 50+.

Yes it will bolt to your stuff fine. Thankfully you have the 5th linkage, as this trans is just the trans, not all the extra involved.

i just got 48+ mpg with a trunk full of campin gear, and non-functional vanes for half the trip.. 600 miles, little over 12 gallons..

AUG TRANS BABY!!!

if i had Lucas's trans, it would do better..

the 3.89/3.94 gears are BETTER for more marginally powered cars.. my car is not marginally powered. lol..

[theman53]

bumping. I will see what shipping is and let you know as soon as I can.

[theman53]

250.00 shipped in the lower 48 or cheaper if actual shipping is less than 50.00

gtting closer to a 020 rebuild involving bad reverse gears.... maybe next week ill have to buy this so i can strip 4 speed in 337 for reverse parts... just need to see what reverse pieces i need 1st... so cross your fingers that 020 needs both gears ~$400.... if does ill sell him used for 300... buy yours for 2...

[theman53]
