My current 5 spd box is at the end of its life having done 92k and been given a fair bit of stick over the years. Front diff is making a lot of nasty noises when turning so its time to sort it out.
Will any UK newage 5 spd box fit as a replacement? Or were there differences in the earlier to the later ones? I know the gearbox codes were different on the hawk 5 spds but do they fit straight on my bug? I'm more likely to find a low miles box from a hawk than a bug..... the other option is send mine off to be rebuilt, but its a bit more £££.
I guess if anyone has a list of gearbox codes (or knows a good website that lists them) that'll fit, that'd be handy
I'll be putting a new clutch in probably a lightened flywheel at the same time.
Cheers
