Send your clutch in to norbrake so they can make a 4 puk solid button clutch out of it and maybe dual-diaphragm pressure plate should sort your slipping issues.

thanks and around what will be my budget

This I cannot tell you. Mine was done for around R1600 3 years back and still going strong. I do have to replace my pressure plate some time.

Seems i damaged 2nd gear, making a noise but still drives, any tips before attempting to open up the gearbox?

Get these spline sockets, size12, 8 and 6.

5th gear, mainshaft bearing retainer and CV joints use these sockets.

Oh also get an assistant, 5th gear is fracking tight, someone must hold the box still while you crack the bolt loose with the power bar.

The rest is too long to explain in one post. So if you have a little money, drop the box off with Oom Poy at 8V developments and let him sort you out.

Hi Papajo

This is a great site thanks and will come in handy in the next month or two as I have to get ARP bolts installed onto my FFZ's diff.

Need a new mainshaft, broke a tooth off, any suggestion on where to source one? Oh and thanks for the tips and sites guys, it made this job very easy

from what I gather on brokevw.com, all vw 22mm mainshafts have the same 1st and 2nd gear which is machined to the shaft?

had my first hick-up with the box, selector locating screw seized... luckily I check it first before removing the gearbox

couldn't get it out of third gear so coasted home in 3rd...

nr2 in the pic below, funny thing is, the box feel fine without it?

update: my DIY double diaphragm pressure plate mod

straps will be made double aswell and the rivets are exactly 6mm, so might use m6 button head cap for that, big thanks to Rinus aka blueblob

input will be valuable, so please comment...

more than 10k views!!! thanks to all watching! I'm off to the bottle store!!!!!

Those pressure plates look familiar.

ob wan · Post by **ob wan** » Fri Dec 02, 2016 1:22 pm

clutch done....

some extra safety measures, didn't go double straps

camera makes the angle look very weird and extreme but it's all good and no that's not a crack it's debris
