VR swap using 02A trans

Post by ☆KalaMK3 »

Any info regarding the above mentioned? Transmission was recently overhauled and I know I wont get what I spent on it.

Just to clarify its an AEN gearbox.

Thank you

You will have to get the VR6 gearbox bellhousing and swop the 02A bellhousing with it. VR has completely different bolt holes on the motor where the 'box bolts to and the 02A will NOT bolt onto a VR motor just like that.

Yeah I thought as much. But powerwise nothing will break?
