ryanmac 0 Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Hi allDoes anyone know if the gearbox from a 2000 plate v5 passat will fit onto my 92 plate obd1 2.9l vr6 corrado? I have the chance of one that is cheap but good and I believe it is the better final drive ratio....Cheers Ryan Link to post Share on other sites
russj249 2 Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 From what I know, they are a straight swap, however you do have to change the CV cups.Helen hvr6 had one up for sale on here a couple of weeks ago, sold now, but have a look at that for sale thread as I'm sure she put the final drive ratio in there too.

Also.gives you an idea of price and how much is a bargain lol Link to post Share on other sites

ryanmac 0 Posted January 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 after checking a bit more I have found it doesn't fit as the engine in a passat is mounted longitudinally instead of transverse. oh well I will keep looking Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 A golf V5 box works no probs.I was wondering to myself about the transvere layout of the passat but wasnt sure Link to post Share on other sites
