[Vwdiesel] Transmission blues

[Dave Cook]

If it is bad, I have a set of gears from a tall ratio 5-speed I bought awhile back from a lister.  The case was shot, so he just mailed me the gears.

I sold the car so I never got around to installing them in my transmission.

I would love to sell them at this point!

To replace, fill back through the speedo cable hole.  No need to remove the
side filler hole.  Just in case you were wondering how to fill it back up.

URGENT ! !

! ! ! OUT OF OIL. DO NOT DRIVE! ! !

If you remove the speedo cable (and gear, with it) shove in a stick
vertically till it bottoms on the internal shelf, and pull it out, you
should see at least 1 inch on the stick. (Car is on level ground!)


Drain all the oil thru the bung on the bottom of the diffy (17mm spud) I
made a wrench by welding a wheel bolt in the end of a 14" length of flat
iron)

Then replace with 2 liters (2US qt) #90 gear lube.

You may have caught it in time.
