1.8t AGU Gearbox swap

[Dave982]

The gearbox on my 1.8t AGU engine could do with some work. I'd wondered if it was possible to fit a 6 speed box instead?
Does anyone know if you can and what box fits?

it will fit... For the conversion you will need an 02M box with suitable ratios (not from a diesel basically), you will also need drive shafts, starter motor, slave cylinder, and clutch/flywheel assembly. Conversion kits generally go for about 250 quid

I think that's about it, no doubt someone (i.e prawn) will correct me if not!

Oh, think you need gear linkage/cables as well!

Blimey, not as simple as I hoped but that lot would keep me busy lol
