Some people would say you have to replace your shifter box and shifter cable for the GTI one, I'm not saying they are wrong, but it's not a most and it's probably a huge waste of time ! The shifter box is exactly the same thing than our shifter box except that it's older (2008 < 2010+). Buy it at your VW stealership, it doesn't cost that much more than an aftermarket part, it worth the extra cost for an oem quality product, I bought an aftermarket one at 200$ CAD and the bearing is bad, I'm already hearing whistling sound arround 4000rpm. I would also replace the slave cylinder / throw-out bearing, it costs a bit more, but it has a tendacy to break and leaks and you know the pattern, you will have to change your clutch if this happens. Keep in mind, that the trans have probably been stored for a long time, the seal might had the time to dry enough to break. The 02Q is a bit higher than our 5-speed and this small difference is enough to break the timing cover, if you don't grind it, when you will torque the bolts to the engine, it will apply force to the timing cover and it will break it and you will have engine oil leaks.īefore installing the transmission, I recommend you to replace the differential seals (where the axle fit into the differential), it's cheap and it will avoid you future leaks. ![]() You have to grind like 1/8inch (maybe more, it's up to your preferences) on top of the transmission in order to make sure that the trans will not sit on the timing cover. #O2A TO O2J SHIFTER SWAP FULL#Now you have every parts for a 02Q swap, I would say a full used kit cost arround 1000$ CADĮven if it's bolt-on, there is an important thing to do in order to avoid big bills like it happened to me. *** Only use parts from a FSI engine, the TSI will not fit ! The FSI flywheel have 6 bolts and it fits our engine while the TSI has 8 bolts ! ***
