GEAR-SET SOLD 17/MAY/2016.....THANKS jetson.
BELL-HOUSING CASE HALF AVAILABLE....$100+shipping.
I'm selling the innards to the gearbox I got in England. As the story goes, the outer case half got damaged coming across the pond. I tried to have it welded, but it distorted the metal around an outer bearing race. Basically the outer case half is no good. I could just go get one stateside, but I also learned that this newer style 02M with the rubber plug can't accept an AWD gear set. I already have an MK1 TT Haldex set-up awaiting TDI gears. If you can trade me straight up for that, I'm in. Other wise the gear set I will be selling for $950 plus shipping. I've already did the shifter fork upgrade; welded, drilled & tapped and red locktited where necessary. If you want pics of my fork upgrade, I can add later.
This is what happens when you try to weld Magnesium as if it were Aluminum. It pretty much pops off as soon as it cools.

This is what it looks like when you take it to a professional, get him some Magnesium filler rod and have it welded by someone who knows what they're doing. Pre heating necessary. I kinda figured, but didn't want to upset my wife with yummy gear oil smells from the oven.
