Moshtradamus360 10 Posted March 13, 2012 hey everyone, i just recently had some gears go out in my 93 vr6. i got a rebuilt transmission on ebay and a new clutch/flywheel kit. im trying to save some money by doing it myself. i know a little bit about cars( i took 2 semesters of auto mechanics in college) but not a whole lot about vw's or Corrados. any help or advice would be greatly appriciated and if you have photos that would be even better. anything that can help me get my rado back on the road. thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roger Blassberg 0 Posted March 13, 2012 Look in the Wiki under Engine Bay / Timing Chains you'll find a good guide to removing the transmission, with photos. Best wishes RB Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jamiehamy 0 Posted March 13, 2012 Having done this several times, I would recommend taking the engine out with the box and then refit. If not, you'll be squirming about jacking the engine up and down, trying to get the box in from below, which even with a ramp would be hard work. Then try getting it back it. It's awful! The engine is pretty easy to get out, with the only tricky bits being getting the exhaust manifold off and the drive shafts (which are easy with a M12 extended spline tool -awesome thing!)
