I found a guy parting out a 2003 Jetta with 164,000 miles.
He has struck me as very honest and trustworthy. And he's asking peanuts for the parts. He bought the car at auction, and promises it goes in all the gears properly, and does not grind in any shifts he's done, but openly tells me he's barely driven it and only bought it originally for the motor. But it's still 15 years old w/164k miles and unknown history.
I'm going to pull the entire 5-speed swap over to my 2000 Golf.
Other than the normal (axles, starter, pedal, hydraulics, flywheel, shifter) is there anything I should grab while I'm there?
He already has the trans and motor pulled, but I have to do all the small work for the pedal, shifter, and other things.
