Newbie (me!) just acquired this car. Trans needs to be replaced. Wondering if there is a chart/site that can tell me what 5sp manuals would be a direct swap for this car? Plan is to buy a used one, but my thoughts are if I can increase my search from just 2008 Rabbit 5 sp manual, I might get...

Wanted MK3 or 4 TDI overdrive gear set from a 1996-2006 New Beetle, Golf, Jetta, and Passat 5sp manual transmission. 020, 02J, or 02A transmission. Not the mk4 pumpe duse (2004-2006). I am looking for the factory .755 MK3 or .756 MK4 not the .658 or .681 swap set. I drive a 03 Golf 2.0 gas car...

I have a 2003 Mk4 2.0 5sp. I am thinking about swapingmy OD gear set with one from a MK3 or 4 TDI to inprove fuel milage on long trips cross country. Has anyone else done this and if so what was your experience?

Hi guys I was chasing a second hand small block for my 89 Caravelle. 2.1l 5sp Man, in the Newcastle/Sydney area? Does anyone have one or know of anywhere? And know a rough price? Cheers. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks in advance if there are any suggestions to follow... My car is a 2003 Jetta, 2.0, 5sp, 160k miles, everything else about the car is great! But: Recently, when attempting to start the car, the horn blows as soon as the key is turned on. If the key is turned farther to the "start"...

my commuter died a couple weeks ago, and its getting expensive to commute 110miles a day in my 94 F350 Crew Cab Dually I found a local seller with a pretty clean looking 1983 Rabbit LS (Fuel Injected 1.7 (I think)) not sure if it's a 4sp or 5sp (I'll find out tonight) the seller got the...

Hi all, Car-- 1982 Rabbit 1.6D I need some advice and help with a few issues: 1) I can't find a blower motor (with A/C) for my car--does anyone know where to buy one or modify or should I get it rebuilt if that is possible? 2) The car has around 340k on it with a fresh rebuilt engine...

Greetings forum! My first VW was a 1991 4sp manual fox coupe. I bought it used for $2500 with 81k miles in 1995. After many trips from NY to OH for college and a 5sp transmission "upgrade" around 1998, I donated the fox to charity in 2002 with well over 200k miles. I just picked up my Tiguan...

I finally got a MK2 Golf. My friekin dream car. Its 2 door, 5sp, silver, snowflake wheels, leather/cloth seats, GTI style wheel, and quad rounds! I cant believe I got one!!!!!! Ill get better pics sometime, these are from the ad.

My 81 pick up trans won't disengage completly when I have the clutch in. I can feel the clutch rubbing and it grinds when I try to shift. I've had to adjust the clutch cable all the way out to where there's no free play left to make it driveable at all. Does any one know what the problem could be?

Hi, Tried to replace the mt fluid in our 08 rabbit. The plug location for the drain is a little different. Anyway, got the plugs out, and hardly got fluid out... Maybe 1qt out... It just trickles out. Anyone else find this with the 5sp? Super slow trickling out? Only did the two 17mm...

A great DIY on how you adjust your 5-6sp trans. Made by the great folks at DieselGeek. So if you have installed a short shifter or 42dd bushing this will help.

I am putting a 82 Diesel engine into an 88 cabriolet. The Diesel I am using is coming out of an 82 rabbit with a 4 speed tranny. I wanted to mate the 5 speed out of the cabriolet to the engine but someone told me this would not be a good match due to the gear ratios. My question is- what happens...

Want to buy short shifter for 08 5 speed rabbit S.

Post up your Rabbit's 1/4 mile times. If you have the slip post it up too. Also include performance mods, including weight reductions. Don't forget weather conditions as well. Here's mine: This was my first run ever on the strip and I failed at launching. Hence why my 60' is so bad. I'll...
