is the mk3 2L 16v box a straight swap then as i know of a mk3 with rear fire damage (caravan it was towing was crashed into and crushed the propane cylinder :onfire: ) will have to find out if its a 2L though

Cheers guys off to my local to find one at weekend, how much should i expect to pay for one from a specialist/breaker and a scrap yard?

[RACK 0]

The one's I found were between £150 & £250.

thought id dig this one back up did anyone change this box and see how it run for a while? any opinions compared to a standard g60 box or a g60 with vr 1st and 2nd gears

[olly elworthy 0]

someone did,, not sure who though,, those boxes are super strong though i know of two big power 1.8T golfs using them with no problems whatsoever

Ok this thread is really interesting. So basically the Mrk lll 2.0 GTI 16v Gearbox is better to use then the Corrado G60 gearbox. So i pressume the mrk lll 2.0 16v Gearbox would improve 0-60's and basically make the car much quicker ?

Does anyone know if the Corrado 2.0 16v gearbox is the same as golf mk3 and what is the code for this gearbox

[atif 0]

I once owned the corrado which had the MK3 16V gearbox!!

 

its a straight swap and means u get longer ratios when you get higher up the revs therefore not having to change up so quick!!

 

It will do 60+ in 2nd gear!

[Rob_B 0]

will the G60 driveshafts fit the MK3 16V gearbox?

will the G60 starter motor fit the 16V box?

what about the G60 selector?

help much appreciated party people

Hello, boys!

I watch this subject becouse i'm extremely interested.

I have a Corrado G60 (of course :D !).

It had a stock ATA gear box (ratios: 3.778; 2.105; 1.345; 0.971; 0.795; FR 3.684).

I fitted a Syncro system with CBC:(3.778; 2.117; 1.360; 0.966; 0.795; FR 3.938).

I lost over one second to 100 Km/h (60 mph) and gain 3/4 of a gallon in consumption :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: .

Now, I want to keep the case, swap the CBC internals with a CCM: (3.300; 1.944; 1,308; 1.034; FR 3.348) or a ASD (3,300; 1.944; 1.308; 0.917; 0.717; FR 3.158).

Can anyone tell me SURE what will happen?

What I'll gain and what I'll loose?

Thank you all!

took my g60 on mainland the other day and with a 1.8 16v box, i was topping out at 100mph in 4th at redline which is bad so avoid the 1.8 16v box on the g60

Just won a G60 box on E-Bay for £60, decided to go down the route of VR 1st and 2nd ratios with a Peloquin diff - nice little winter project

What's so bad about that? wonder what you'd have had at top wack?

 

The valvers hit 80 in third without redlining it.

 

I guess you were a fair way off 60 in second?

If it was lower geared, which I doubt, It wouldn't make the car quicker. The G60 is pretty low geared so going any lower will make first gear useless and the other gears wont be matched to the torque curve.

 

There's no point changing ratio's unless its a proven mod like Andy665 mentions about VR higher ratio 1st & 2nd gears - usually done to complement an upgrade in power.

I reckon it would of topped out at about 120mph :roll:

And you're after 150 odd?

no, just couldnt cruise at 100ish in 5th as it was at about 4.5k and felt sorry for my charger!
