Does anyone know of a gearbox that is longer than the original one for a Golf2 GTD (71 hp, intercooler from a Sprinter, 0.9 bar boost)?
My Golf is misbehaving when running at full throttle above 5000 RPM, and I want to fix that!

I also did some research, but I couldn't find anything. I only found models with cable pulls, but I don't want to modify anything.

Thank you. Best regards, Christian.

Hello,

The 4T transmission (e.g., in the 2er GTD), to my knowledge, is the longest in the 020 series. If you consistently drive with 0.9 bar of boost and have the ESP properly adjusted, you're close to the limit of what that transmission can handle, around 190 Nm. I destroyed mine with 1.2 bar, and that's why, along with the gearing, I installed a CYP from a 110PS TDI. Most of it is plug-and-play, but you will need a few parts. If you're interested in details, check out this http://forum.piranha-net.de/; it's a forum for the older models without electronics. This forum here is more about the high-tech issues and how to deal with them.

Best regards, Uli.

Okay, I'll take a look. I hope my transmission holds up, because I'm planning to install an AAZ turbocharger with 1.1 bar of boost soon!

Best regards, Christian.
