Also worth checking the belt tensioner, as that's on that side.

Glad to hear it ;)

Welcome! Looks nice, although sounds like you've got you're gonna be busy! :)

Absolute shed!

Ya kidding! Your bro is a greedy barsteward! :lol: I left you some valver bits as well as some Copperberg- did he take it all?

What side is it coming from?

Details of the build: Complete strip down & clean of internals and exterior casings (cleaning tank). 3 synchros worn, but box very clean inside (obviously had some oil changes in the past). Magnet picked up some tiny bits of debris, but nothing to worry about. All journals polished. Output shaft bearings replaced. All preloads to oem spec. 1st, 2nd and 3rd synchros replaced. 3.68 fitted with ARP diff bolts. All seals replaced. Will be going on the car tomorrow night with Castrol Syntrans oil, new gearbox mount, new clutch release bearing + fork. Can't wait!

Certainly is an end of an era :( However, as Yan says, it's gone to a good home- I'm sure Michael will cherish it!

Hi Dave, Can you put me down for one as well please? Thanks mate 8)

Must do at some stage Jon- been too long, although I beleive it's your turn to come over to sunny Glos! ;)

Nice, Brian! Definitely too orange as standard.

Already quicker! :lol: Yeh, will be interesting to see the difference. Exactly what it needs (in theory), as the 12v VR is so lazy low down. Gonna go for one of Dave's short shifters as well to compliment the box 8)

Well, the box is complete! Picking it up tomorrow and will fit it with LewVW on Wednesday night- can't wait. It needed new 1st, 2nd and 3rd synchros + a list of other stuff that I'll post later when I can be bothered to copy it out :lol: Gonna use Castrol Syntrans oil (used to be SMX-S), which I got from Halfords yesterday.

Yum! 8)

Well done, Michael! One of the best Corrados in the country. Get some pics up 8)

berry... ;-)

I've got one in South Glos- would need collecting though...

Think that bit is the heatshield. It's fitted to the right of the tow eye hole in that pic. Pretty sure you can still get them from VW.

:notworthy: Well done guys! Mark, how do you find it compared to the valver?

Good stuff Daren. How are you liking the brakes?

You can buy it individually if you ask for the Sharan VR6 part, or alternatively Ford sell it on its own - £34 last year.

Bolts are on top and underneath (you need to remove the little cover with 3 bolts to get to it). Check out the Group Buy section, as Jay has got a group buy for engine mount inserts. Got them in mine and they're great. Much cheaper than VT and just as good IMHO.

That last pic is legendary! :lol: Pure Frazzle-filth!

I wouldn't :lol: AP are supposed to be pretty good also. Remember, you get what you pay for- especially with suspension.
