Hi all,
Have a 2.5 TDI ael based motor which has an 8 bolt crankshaft in a Eurovan
Id like to swap to a 6 speed stronger gearbox but am unsure of the best way to do this. Hoping someone may be able to comment on my thoughts below as to weather this is possible without having to get a custom flywheel made up.
I will be running an adapter plate to twist the gearbox to sit at the correct angle as it leans forward a lot in the van
1) I see some of the flywheels on the 02Q motor use an 8 bolt flywheel - any idea if the PCD is the same as the 2.5 tdi crank?/ anyone have a drawing?
2) Ive read somewhere that the 02Q flywheel/clutch assembly sticks out further than the 02M due to the deeper bellhousing - can anyone confirm this? is the starter ring the same OD?
If this is the case im hoping to have the adapter plate be the correct thickness so that I can run the 02Q 8 bolt clutch flywheel assembly with an 02M gearbox.
