Gearbox broken so proberly the end.

[gti-r-vr6 0]

Well i brought a cheap vr6 for a run around while i finich my gtir and today the gear box went :-(

I have to say the vr6 was pretty fun while it lasted and sounded pretty good, a bit under powered in the low revs and a bit to talled geared and a bit lardy on standard shocks but are still a good fun machine with surprisingly good mpg :-#

I am proberly going to break it for parts so if any of you guys could give me a rough idea of what parts are worth what it would be helpfull?

Also i am now wondering if the gearboxes are a weak point in the vr6 golfs?

Mostly the front diff,i ask this because i was doing around 5500rpm in 4th went for 5th gentally and it seems my front diff has exploded and took the gear box casing with it :-# :-(

Anyway it has been fun and i am glad i have had a vr6 for a while as they are a pretty good car
