NormanCoal 0 Posted May 25, 2004 As I was perusing the forum yesterday I came across some information that said that not all of the early VR6 models had the gearbox counterweight Is this true? I have a 92 model engine and box, and I dont appear to have one from memory - would I feel a lot of difference fitting one? Which would be better, the smaller corrado version, or the larger Golf one?

PhatVR6 0 Posted May 25, 2004 I foudn that the larger golf one hit the coolant hoses and made shifting awkward. not a problem with the corraod one. bloody awful without one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NormanCoal 0 Posted May 25, 2004 Are you talking about the larger Golf one hitting in a Corrado or a MK2 Paul? Seems like mine never had one at all - Now glad that I kept that fecked 02A in the garage Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhatVR6 0 Posted May 25, 2004 the golf one didn't work in my mk2. but strangely it did in my previous mk2?!?!? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kvwloon 0 Posted May 25, 2004 Fitting the weight made a big difference to the feel of the shifting on my 16v, much more 'snick', 'snick' Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NormanCoal 0 Posted May 25, 2004 Its going to be a try it and see then - the only problem that I can see is the routing of the pas pipes, ie where I have put them Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Saw the same weight on a VR yesterday. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
