just put the reverse and idler gear from a 4 spd in there..

I used to toss 4-speed transmissions. Now when i get them, I split them apart for the reverse gears, and toss the rest of the internals. The bell housings make a great, lightweight too for setting the timing on engines on the floor of your shop, and a way to test compression and start motors without having to lug an entire trans around the shop floor.



i believe the 4 speeds are magnesium cased also?
92 Jetta GLI - Black, 1.6D w/ GT2056V turbo..
86 GTI - 4 Door, Med Twilight Gray, Tow Machine..
86 Audi Coupe GT - Tornado Red, All Stock.. WRECKED.
89 Toyota 4Runner - Dark Grey Metallic, LIFTED!

Turbo: exhaust gasses go into the turbocharger and spin it, witchcraft happens and you go faster.

 On the GC 4-speeds (I like the to keep the GP and GL tranys), flanges make nice axle caps for stored axles.
