JIMMI 0 Posted July 10, 2007 It will fit the engine but you will have to use the mk4 or mk5 engine mounts with custom driveshafts, its doable but a chunk of fabrication, you might as well wedge an R32 motor in as its the same work jimmi....... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

corozin 0 Posted July 12, 2007 I'm not sure if they still do them but both Quaife and Gemini used to do both uprated replacement 5-speed clusters, as well as 6-speed ones which would all fit inside the existing VR6 casing. The six speed ones require some minor mods inside to get a bit of clearance. When I last knew the prices back in around 2003 the 5-speed Gemini kit was about £1,250 and the 6-speed was around £1,800 but you'd really need to contact the companies and see if they do them still, and see what ratios are available. The Quaife kit is more expensive still but at the same time it was allegedly even stronger than the Gemini kit. Frankly though unless you're planning big power for your car I wouldn't bother with either as a VR6 pretty much attains V-max on a standard box in fifth, and you won't make it go any faster with a longer ratio as the (standard) engine won't pull any more than 155-158 really.

You dont need to use mk4/5 mounts,you can buy or make a transmisson bracket from dutchdub. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
