what car has o2a gearbox?
mk2 golf 16v i think?

although not sure, i think it may be from something abit more new school.

ill find out D.
mk3 golf 2.0 16v, passat 2.0 16v, corrado 2.0 16v.

its a cable change box fitted to alot of other cars arcros the range in the same sorta era.

*this is aidan by the way, sorry mods*
the reason i ask is that this car http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5axDVL6V...re=related has been running 1 for 18 months now and has had no problems what so ever.
what that runs on your clio engine? sounds cool mate.

from what i have heard, people running big power vw's (yes there are some!) the 02a can handle upwards of 350whp without trouble. however people also report that harsh gear changes and driving style = early death for the 02a.

the 02m gearbox is the same as far as im aware but has a different interlocking mechanism, which is much stronger.

hope this helps dude, obviously this info isnt from my experience so i cant realy comment.
i suppose any gearbox however strong will always die with the wrong driving style but the O2A box is very strong and does not need to much work to mkae it fit, so im just keeping my options open for "just in case"
cool cool.

was just metioning, obviously you aint running huge power so all should be good. Icon_smile
that 5 is running a 2.0 16v 172 engine with a turbo running 400bhp@1.5 bar of boost, so if he is running it and hammering it and it still survives it will do me lol.

what boxs are in mk3 vr6's
