24V Renshaw 0 Posted January 18, 2005 Quick question. Is the MK3 Golf VR6 gearbox the same as the Corrado one? Cheers Jay Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tug 0 Posted January 19, 2005 I think the final drive is different in the Golf gearbox, but it would fit a Corrado VR6 if that's what you're wondering... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmn 0 Posted January 19, 2005 physicly the same, but final drive is different AFAIK Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rpmayne 0 Posted January 19, 2005 Did VW ever make another VR6 model car and 6-speed gearbox that would bolt straight on? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted January 19, 2005 The Corrado and Golf VR6 both share the same box.... and both have the same 3.39 Final Drive. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted January 19, 2005 kevhaywire, you missed out the "UK" in there... ;) US cars had a different final drive... ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted January 19, 2005 kevhaywire, you missed out the "UK" in there... ;) US cars had a different final drive... ;) Strictly speaking I said Corrado / Golf VR6 and as the VR6 is called SLC in America, it is therefore safe to assume I was discussing UK cars owing to the SLC's omission :lol: But yeah, the SLC got a 3.6 diff IIRC...

24V Renshaw 0 Posted January 19, 2005 Cheers for the info. So I can widen my search to MK3 gearboxes then. Good, more likely to have nice low mileage on them. Jay Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted January 19, 2005 before you hand over your hard earned, check the gearbox number off against ETKA, It'll tell you exactly what ratios it's got in it and IIRC what car it's out of... ;) 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhatVR6 0 Posted January 19, 2005 Use a V5 gearbox. it's got a 3.94 in it :-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted January 19, 2005 oooh, that's another interesting tid-bit to add to my list... 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
willwoll100 0 Posted January 19, 2005 Yeah I just got a Corrado gearbox from Vince @ Stealth, absolutely mint, approx about a 10000 miler. Had to take photo's of bell housing for when I sell it as no one would believe how clean it is. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted January 19, 2005 Yeah I just got a Corrado gearbox from Vince @ Stealth, absolutely mint, approx about a 10000 miler. Had to take photo's of bell housing for when I sell it as no one would believe how clean it is. Yeah - I saw that when I was last there, looked like they'd never changed gear!
