most parts are available from united motorsports or dutchdub

HI Have you got links perhaps for me pls

I Googled both but doing something wrong

The Reason I want to convert the R32 box to 2WD is because I had a normal VR6 Transmission in my New Beetle but when I am going to refit the Motor I bought a R32 6speed trans that I want to fit on to the VR6Turbo motor in the Bug

Would a diesel box out of a bora be more suitable? Already front wheel drive and still has 6 speed. This is presuming that the beetle is front wheel drive?

A 4 cylinder gearbox doesn't fit on a 6 cylinder engine.

We sell a blanking plate to do just what you want to do. Click the email icon below this posts to contact us.

Ah right ok.. didn't know that :) learn something new everyday! Does an R32 box mate directly to the engine then with no mods?

Yes but there is still Ring gear and the Thrust bearing that needs to be sorted

UM Do you guys sell the 6Speed ring gear aswell to fit the VR6 Flywheel ?

You cant use a VR6 flywheel with an 02M gearbox.

Here is a picture of the 2wd conversion plate:

Hi Thanks that seems what I need what is the cost of that plate and can you ship to South Africa

What I like about tha Plate is that If I want to go 4WD one day I just un Bolt the Plate and re-fit the Transfer case

The Guy that was helping me with the 6 speed Conversion did use a VR6 Fly wheel they just made a new Ring gear to fit on the Flywheel so I am trying to get a ring gear from them but are battling

That is why I have collected the Bug from them as it was a Year that nothing was done on my car and I started to do it myself

I did get a Clutch Plate to fit the Spigot shaft but that is also missing in action

What do you fly wheel do you suggest I use
