asf transmission flanges are loose and leaking severly

[hustonr123]

Both axle flanges have a lot of play and slide in and out.  Is this trans junk or a easy in car fix.  I have both axles removed and c clips are still in tacked.

Replace the flanges and seals.

The flanges wear like that and start to leak. How many miles are on the trans.?

[rallydiesel]

They should not slide back and forth at all. I could see one spring broken but both broken is unlikely. Maybe the previous owner took the springs out for some stupid reason.  

*Upon further review I learned mk1 trans may or may not have springs*

[hustonr123]

There is around 220k miles on it.  I replaced the clutch a month or so back and there was no leaks then.  all this happened in about 2000 miles.  I would like to fix this trans cause only others I can find are a 9A AGS  AUG and a FF   Only trans I think will fit my needs is the FF if it would only fit my car.

AGS will fit a MK1 or 2,

Did these flanges float like this when you put in the clutch?
Are you sure this is not carrier bearings?
Did you still have a 5th gear that worked before you began disassembly?
This is weird stuff man! I'm guessing that trans has departed for the happy hunting grounds.

5th gear still worked  trans is out of car now the carrier is junk and ate the case up some   its strange i didn't hear any noises    I hate this ags trans i put in

Ring gear rivot fail?

I guess there are a couple AGS gearings possible but I love the AGS in my Golf

[theman53]

Love mine also. I liked it before when it had the original R&P ratio. Now with the 3.667 I like it better.

to me 5th is like 4th in asf  i keep reaching over to shift up but i am already in 5th    maybe my speedo is off  cause at 3000 rpm in 5th I am only doin 58 mph    I do have the white speedo gear installed

[R.O.R-2.0]

white gear is for 3.67 gears isnt it? and red is for 3.94 gears?

you shouldnt notice much change.. the only difference in fifth gear is that your running thru a 3.94 final drive now, instead of a 3.67..

[hustonr123]

how beneficial to swap in .71 5th gear   feels like i have more power with this transmission just no top end

[hustonr123]

I just checked  out this website http://www.scirocco.org/gears/
 On there it said 3k rpm with .75 5th is 70 mph for the ags
the asf trans is 75 mph at 3k rpm  ether my tach is wrong or my speedo is off

[theman53]

red is 3.67 and 3.67 is custom in ags. White is what should be in stock ags
