Hello.
I've now had a Golf 3 GTI TDI (AFN) for 8 months. I'm actually very happy with it, except that I would like to have a 6th gear.
Does anyone know if:
1) He sells a set that includes a tuner.
2) Whether it is possible to install the 6-speed transmission from a Golf 4.
I would prefer the second option because I can easily and cheaply obtain parts for a Golf 4.
You're welcome.
Luc. |

Hello!
I'm currently installing a 6-speed transmission in my Corrado!
I'm going to build a gearbox kit next, maybe you'd be interested in one?
I just need a few more drive shafts from the Bora!
Golf is the same as Corrado!
Best regards, Mirco  |

Let us know when it's finished.
If the gears 1-5 remain as they are and the 6th gear becomes an E-gear, I would be interested.
Fuel consumption: 4 liters per 100 kilometers at a speed of 140 km/h. That would be it!  |

Okay, so the 1st to 4th gears should remain the same, but the 5th gear is slightly shorter than the original 5th, and the 6th gear is approximately 17 km/h faster!
Everything from a 150 horsepower PD (pump-injector) engine, at 4500 RPM!
Best regards,
Mirco |

I'm also interested. It would be great if you could keep us updated.
Approximately, how much would that cost?
Best regards.

You have no idea; I'm not trying to get rich from this, but I'm also not doing it for free; I want to earn something from it!
Materials and effort!
Best regards,
Mirco |

Sounds good.
Could you perhaps provide some more details?
For example, which parts would you like to use for that? Golf 4 transmission?
Regards,
Luc. |

Hello.
What? 160 horsepower and 400 Nm of torque from an AFN engine? Without an intercooler?
What exactly did you do to get it to perform like that? Can the engine handle it?
What did you do with the bearings, the crankshaft, etc.? |

That can't be right... I also thought about it before, but I dismissed the idea because the 6th gear isn't significantly longer (I think it was even shorter than the 5th gear in my AHF). The cars with the 6-speed transmission only have a different axle ratio - or are you modifying the differential?
Edit:
I just realized: you're talking about the 150 hp PD engine - I was thinking about the 130 hp engines. Maybe they have different gearboxes. |
