will a gearbox from a VW syncro system bolt up to a TDI engine? i don't know much about the newer engines.. but i've seen a couple cars with mkIV engines, and syncro drivetrains, i wonder if its all bolt up? very doubtful..  :lol:

SyncroNorm had a Passat G60 Syncro that he had converted to TDI :)

I still wish I had bought it ....

All VW 4-cylinder transmission are bolt-on to any VW 4-cylinder engine.

You only need the right clutch/flywheel combinison

The syncro gearbox from the G60 Passat Syncro is an 02C.
The 02C is a sister gearbox to the 02A.

The R&P and gearset from an 02A gearbox are a direct fit
into an 02C case.  It's fairly easy easy to do the parts swap.
I currently have an 02C case with a 3.16 final and TDI gears sitting on my engine stand.

Regarding the case fitting, general rules of thumb for VW:
1a. all 4 cylinder trannies fit to all 4 cylinder engines
    (a 1974 020 4spd will bolt on to a 2004 1.8T)
1b. the VR6 bellhousings don't bolt up to the 4 cylinder engines
     (you can't bolt an 020 gearbox up to a VR6)
2. use the clutch that goes with the transmission
     (For 02A gearbox use 02A clutch.  For 020 gearbox, use 020 clutch)

i have an engineless passat syncro in my shop. putting the engine into a dude's A1 jetta.
A friend is buying the chassis to install the syncro system into an A2 jetta with a  supercharged 2L 16v.  too bad!
