I asked on vortex and figured maybe someone on here would know..??


my girls mk3 2.0L auto tranny has final seen the last of her beatings! I have a 1.8L 8V auto tranny from my mk2 jetta when i swapped in the vr6.
My question is, Will everything work?? Wasn't sure and didn't want to dive into it without asking. It just needs to get her back and forth, nothing major...
thanks for any suggestions

yes/no i believe most 8v are the same will work, there are some differences if i'm not mistaken w/ the clutch & accessories

i used a 1.8l tranny in my aba setup on the cabby, but i'm tryin to remember we had to change... i think the pressue plate had to come from the 2l :thinking:
