• The TDIClub classifieds section is a heavily trafficked section of the forum that encompasses want-to-buy (WTB) and for-sale (FS) threads for the entire world. Due to the demanding nature and fast pace of this section, it is imperative that you know and understand the rules. It is also important to remember that this is the only parts classifieds section.

    Cross-posting and posting classifieds in the regional sections (except the dedicated thread in Ontario) is not permitted.

    Multiple items should be sold in one thread. Make sure to provide a description for all items in your post along with pictures and prices. If you start multiple threads with individual items, they will be locked or combined at the discretion of the moderators.

    Here is a quick outline of the classifieds section rules. If you don't follow these rules, you subject yourself to thread deletion, thread combination, infractions, or posting privilege revocation.

    Thread titles:
    • Put FS or WTB in your thread title. This will let other users know if you are selling or buying.
    • Briefly describe what you are selling. Thread titles have limited space. Be as descriptive, yet succinct, as possible.
    • Put your location in the title.
    • If space allows, put your price in the title

    Title example (single item): "FS: 2004 Mk4/BEW cylinder head - Portland, OR - $500"
    Title example (multiple items): "FS: MK6 fog lights, front bumper, headlights, grill - Detroit, MI"
    Title example (car part-out): "FS: Mk3 Jetta parting out engine & interior - Dallas, TX"

    Thread text descriptions and pictures:
    • All for-sale threads must include pictures of the items that you are selling. One picture is sufficient, but multiple pictures with different angles will help buyers. A picture is worth a thousand words. If you don't know how to post pictures on TDIClub, see this thread: http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?t=286691
    • All for-sale threads must include a description. We don't charge per-word, so be as descriptive as possible. The more information you can provide, the easier it will be for buyers.
    • All for-sale threads must include a price. Auctions and bidding are not allowed. If you want to auction something off, use eBay.
    No picture, no price, NO SALE!

    Thread maintenance/updates/bumps:
    • When you sell something, update your thread with "SOLD!" Moderators will close the thread and update the title.
    • If you have multiple items for sale, update your thread as each item has been sold. When everything has been sold, updated the thread with "ALL ITEMS SOLD!" Moderators will close the thread and update the title when all items have been sold.
    • If you bump your thread, please delete old bumps by clicking on EDIT and then deleting the old bump. This will reduce clutter in your thread and make it easier to read. It also makes you look less desperate.
    • If you drop your price, please update your first post in addition to posting the new price. If you would like the thread title changed, click on the report post icon and let a moderator know what you would like the title changed to.

    Moderator intervention and infraction points:
    Moderators will be monitoring the classifieds section. If a moderator determines that you have not been following the rules listed above, corrections will be made and infraction points will be assessed to your account.

    What is an infraction point? Simple - it's a system of keeping track of user behavior. A moderator can assign a point value based on the severity of the infraction, as well as an expiration date on the points assessed. If you accumulate a certain number of points, the system will auto-ban you for a predefined amount of time. The more points you accumulate, the longer your ban period will be.

    One example of points is as follows: multiple threads will be combined into a single thread, with the number of infraction points assessed corresponding to the number of threads merged. If we merge four threads into one, then you will be assessed four points that expire in 30 days. When you reach five points, the system will auto-ban you for one day.*

    *This is an example based on the current infraction system structure. We reserve the right to modify the infraction system at any time without notice or updates to this announcement.

    Thank you for your cooperation, and good luck with your sales and searches! :)

The prices are too high. 5spd swaps are $500 to 700. The head cores $50 on a good day.
*later* 5 spd swaps with the 2000+ better shifter assembly are $5-700. I owned a 99.5 for a number of years, to quote Oilhammer, the shifter felt like a wooden spoon stirring in a bucket of marbles. The 5spd and all the other parts are fine, but I would upgrade the shifter, cables, and the hard part - the sifter tower in the transmission, the moment I got it home.

Although, even the 99.5 early shifter assembly with the 02J is better than the 01M craptastic auto-box.

If yours felt like a bucket of marbles it's because parts were worn. Very easy to stiffen up these parts. It was very similar off the Corrado and mk3s.
I currently have 2 99.5 TDI one feels nice and smooth/tight and the other loose/sloppy.

It's the same transmission, shifter very easy to swap for newer parts.

How is the condition of the shell? Any rust? My 99.5 has a great drivetrain but body is rusting to holly hell.

Is that you making an offer? Prices are now OBO. Transmission is in very good condition and clutch kit is like new. I will also split these parts up. I will let the market dictate itself.
Also in one of your recent posts, your were trying to sell someone just a shift box and cables for 300?

Yes. you would have the older-style somewhat-less-precise-but-perfectly-usable shifter mechanism, but it would work just fine in an 03 Jetta/golf.

With coding (VCDS) you recode the car to be a standard, and you would only be left with a blank LCD which previously showed the PRND21 at the bottom of the instrument cluster.

I don't see it above, but ask for the power steering line that bolts to the front of the transmission - they are different auto to standard.

2001 golf tdi 4 door auto now a manual, mine, 2000 golf 2 door M/T son's,daughters 98 NB non-TDI 2.0, 2003 TDI NB for next daughter, head repaired and on road,gluten for punishment got another tdi 2001NB,another yellow tdi NB
For what it’s worth the auto power steering line can be massaged to work with the manual setup , did that on mine . It’s not too difficult to do and takes a little force to get it to work in case the seller does not have a good line or its compromised.
