Shaggy 0 Posted June 16, 2005 I now have both a Vr6 Gearbox and a spare G60 box, i am wanting to put the 1st and 2nd Gears into the box. Now i know vince at stealth racing can do this, but can anyone point me in the direction of someone a bit closer to me? i am down in portsmouth, Hampshire, i dont really mind gong to stealth , but it woud be alot more practical to find a tuner closer, i was thinking someone like "the Phirm" or even JMR???

h100vw 0 Posted June 16, 2005 Find a gearbox specialist, it doesn't have to be a tuner. I would think most tuners would shy away from doing this sort of stuff. Specialist tools etc. Lots of scope for things going Pete Tong for the inexperienced. Although a tuner may have a place they use themselves which they'll tell you about.

Guest Posted June 16, 2005 mike_g60, look in your local yellow pages. There will be plenty of gearbox rebuilders/refurbers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted June 16, 2005 Go to http://www.clubgti.co.uk/forum and send "HotGolf" (Martin) a PM. He's based in Wales, so should be a bit closer than Stealth? The guy is a legend with boxes in the Golf world..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
woody 0 Posted June 16, 2005 JMR uses a bloke he knows to rebuild gear boxes. mind you might be worth thinking about getting a new diff (quaife spelling) at the same time Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shaggy 0 Posted June 30, 2005 is jmr open at the moment i cant seem to get hold of anyone? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neil VR6 0 Posted July 1, 2005 JMR is a kind of sideline business for John. If you leave a message or pm him (16VG60) he will get back to you. Gauranteed :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
W3RKD 0 Posted July 1, 2005 we use JP-race at silverstone.. there work and turnaround time is fantastic. and a g60 box will only cost £30 on a courier to send. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neil VR6 0 Posted July 1, 2005 http://www.jprace.co.uk/index.php How much is a rebuild for a G60 box then? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted July 1, 2005 mind you might be worth thinking about getting a new diff (quaife spelling) at the same time I'll second that. It's also a chance to change the clutch and use Redline MT90 untainted with old cruddy original oil..... You might also want to consider some different gearing options whilst it's apart too...

Hotgolf 0 Posted July 1, 2005 Don't go Quaife!! beleive me you'd be better off getting a peloquin from the States. It still works out cheaper the import tax is added to the price the other end. Comes with diff bolts and bearings too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted July 1, 2005 And the Peloquin comes with a warranty, the quiff doesn't. At the end of the day they are the same product, you just get the bolts and bearings included with the Pelly. I needed a diff quickly and Scirocco.com couldn't send me a pelly in time, so I had to go with the quiff. Not grumbling though....either way, it's a must have on Golfs/Corrados imo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
