Re: My 16v build, continued
speaking of which, everything was assembled as per above, will the 5th gear alignment shaft influence the paddle location?PapaJo wrote:Check the indents where the 3 dogs sit inside the shift drum. When you select to 4th the drum should not push over too far to prevent the dogs from popping out. Check that. Looking at the indents inside the shift drum you will see they are not in the centre as one side is slightly shorter. The inner drum on the shaft and outer shift drum need to align and 3 dogs sitting in the indents and when shifting over to 3rd and 4th the dogs should not pop out.
The spring clips behind the dogs should be in opposite directions and the ends must not be starting and ending on the same dog.
Was the inner drum of the 3rd/4th gear removed and refitted the same way as that could offset the shift drum?
Does the syncro have a small lip where the dogs fit in to prevent them to move in the direction of the shift drum movement?
When all gears and selectir forks are installed, the gate must line up on all for the finger to move back and forward without needing sideway movement.

Re: My 16v build, continued
Yes, it will for the 5th gear. You adjust the tube threaded part next to the 5th gear that sits around the rod and adjust it that the gate is aligned for all the selector forks. Thereafter you lock the tube on the splines with the little lock plare to prevent the tube from turning and adjusting itself causing scratching or jumping out of 5th gear.

Re: My 16v build, continued
but that won't affect 4th to 3rd shifting?

Re: My 16v build, continued
No. 3rd and 4th is on their own selector fork. With selector drum removed and looking into the casing all the gates need to line up for the finger to pass without pushing the gate over to find it. Another thing to check is if the ends of the selector fork that fits in the drum and pushing over to the teeth on the gears had minimal play. If the ends are worn thin it will cause play and drum not engaging properly on the gear teeth.ob wan wrote:but that won't affect 4th to 3rd shifting?

Re: My 16v build, continued
soon as I'm finished with my current project i'll strip the box out and open it up again, think you might be spot on with the wear on the forks...
what is the difference between the syncro rings (the brass ones I assume)? I noticed they have different part numbers stamped but appear to be the same size
btw, thanks again for all the info PPJ

Re: My 16v build, continued
Different part numbers due to having fine grooves on the inside taper and others are smooth on the taper. The fine grooved ones wear off and causes play on the syncro. When syncro is on gear taper it should not have a gap smaller than 1mm between the bottom of the syncro and the teeth on the gear. I will check for pictures showing the difference.

Awesome build thus far , i envy ppl that have the tools, time and know how to do all these things themselves. Makes life so much easier than having to deal with crunts who claim to be mechanics

just a little update:
the clutch is awesome! very little to no shudder at pull away, slippage is completely gone, the pedal feels slightly harder but hardly noticeable
atf in the gearbox i think was a mistake, shifting is harder than expected (new FFZ)... any input?
semi's are the bomb!!! those things grip
now to fit the poly bushes...

Re: My 16v build, continued
you don't put ATF in a manual box for a reason. Castrol BOT 402 or even engine oil does a better job.

Regular HP 80W-90 gear oil is the best. Any brand preference is irrelevant, just get a decent quality one.panic-mechanic wrote:you don't put ATF in a manual box for a reason. Castrol BOT 402 or even engine oil does a better job.

Re: My 16v build, continued
Bot 402 is a full synthetic sae 75w85 oil which basically eliminates that cold 2nd gear scratch that golf link boxes are so fond of.
It is the only castrol product that I use and it is really that good.
There are lots of guys in the racing community that uses engine oil and swears by it.
But NOBODY recommends ATF in a golf gearbox.
