I really like the feel of a cable clutch O2A. I like this because it keeps the truck as stock as possible and is pretty cool.Ĭable clutch conversion for the O2a. You can keep it cable shift and modify the MK3 shift box to mount inside the MK1. While this part is not necessary to make the swap work. The ting I like about this mount is it has a nice beveled edge inside of it making bearing installation easier. You can use a stock gasser passenger side mount.
They Also offer mounts for an O2m 6 speed if you are going that route. If you are doing an O2J swap the mount may be slightly different. Transmission Top Mount and Rear Transmission mount for O2A Transmissions. Here are the individual parts that make up the kit: In this video I cover the parts included in the kit, as well as some additional bits I didn’t have in the original video like the TT downpipe and the wiring harness and DBW pedal bracket. Lets take a look at what all you can get from S&P to make a Mk1 TDI swap as easy as possible. I would guess that the person with average mechanical skills could do the whole swap over a weekend or a 3 day weekend easy enough and have time for any troubleshooting that may be needed. So overall it has been a pretty fast and easy swap. And then I have another 3 or so hours on the cable clutch and rod shift stuff making all of that work right. This included doing all of the video work too, which takes a lot longer than you would think to do. To give you a time frame about how long the swap has taken so far (I’m currently working on it when I have the time) we got the old motor pulled out, mounts put on and everything changed and the motor thrown back in in about 10 hours. Well like all projects this one took longer to get to than it should have and thanks to another friend with a VW shop who had some down time, we got a good bit of it knocked out in one day.
