    Installing a EBJ transmission on a ALH that had a EGR.

    Can this be done? My car currently has a EGR transmission and I am looking into getting a different transmission. Do the EBJ's work on my car that previously had a EGR on it? I think I read somewhere a long time ago that the shift linkage ends are different, but works fine otherwise. Can anyone...

    Terrible Transmission Leak on 03 manual TDI

    UPDATE: It has been a while since I worked on my car, but I thought I was post an update in case anyone else runs into this problem in the future. After I installed the new Axle flange and seal, I got the inner CV joint reattached and noticed the flange has some play in the transmission. The...

    Terrible Transmission Leak on 03 manual TDI

    Maybe you’re right. But if it was already broke, would that cause my transmission leak??

    Terrible Transmission Leak on 03 manual TDI

    I'm not totally sure, but I think it broke when it hit the concrete floor. I have the car on my 2 post lift so it fell a good distance...

    Terrible Transmission Leak on 03 manual TDI

    I finally found the part number for the item. They call it a tapered ring and the number is 020409374 if you are curious. Called 3 or 4 stores in the surrounding area to finally find one.

    Terrible Transmission Leak on 03 manual TDI

    Correct, by pulling the long bolt in the center. I will have to check and see if the clip stays on. I doubt it will because it is broke

    Terrible Transmission Leak on 03 manual TDI

    Interesting. It fell off the end of the axle flange. I took the 6 torx bolts off to separate the CV joint and the flange, then I took the allen head bolt from the center of the axle flange. Finally, this clip fell off the end of the flange after I pulled it from the transmission. It was against...

    Terrible Transmission Leak on 03 manual TDI

    I have ran into a big problem. I took the old flange out and when I pulled it, the spring, washer, and rings fell off and the brass tapered ring/spacer broke when it hit the floor. Not sure if it was weak as is or broke because of the concrete. Any clue where I could find another one? The Google...

    Terrible Transmission Leak on 03 manual TDI

    My plan is to drain it completely and refill to the proper amount. My new axle flange just got here so I will begin to change that out too.

    Good point. I will take a close look when I get home and see if I can find the problem.

    Terrible Transmission Leak on 03 manual TDI

    I don't know how (or if) I could get just the flange without buying a whole new axle... The CV joints seem in decent shape but the boots are starting to tear pretty good. Also, isn't there a seal between the output flange and the CV joint? Maybe that's where I am leaking?

    Terrible Transmission Leak on 03 manual TDI

    UPDATE 3/25: Cleaned it again and drove it just up the road and back. I definitely looks like it's leaking around the Axle seal now. Frustrating because I replaced the axle flange seal not 5k miles ago. I wonder if there is a larger problem with something besides the seal? I just ordered another...
