Stonkin Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Your wanting to go TT thought arent you Raven, then you'll go bpu, then you'll stuff the box. Be a waste mate. Leave the money to gather dust under the bed and save for TT. IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leave the money to gather dust under the bed and save for TT. IMO Yeah i would, but im thinking now maybe a cheaper way out would be a 5 speed, 2.5TT combo Hence i start with the 5 speed then save more and get the soarer engine.

Kirk Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Its not at all difficult to do as i did mine on a driveway on axle stands. Saying that i do work on cars for a living so anything like that is quite simple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evinX Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 I want to do this to, though im thinking a mkiii gearbox and bits would be easier to get hold of, would the clutch pedal and bits in the footwell area from a mkiii fit a mkiv? would the mkiii tranny fit to the mkiv engine?
