Service installation of the 5 speed manual gearbox

The 5 speed manual gearbox can be service installed in Golf and Scirocco vehicles from August 1979 with 63 kw (85 bhp) amd 81 kw (110 bhp) engines.

The 5 speed gearbox can also be installed in vehicles built before August 1979 but this changes the exhaust emission values slightly and may effect the vehicle Type Approval.

Note:

On vehicles up to December 1978 it may be necessary to make a small depression in the left wheel housing in order to ensure sufficient clearance between gearbox and wheel housing. In this case it is necesary to ensure that there sufficient clearance between wheel housing and wheel in all supension positions and on all wheel locks.

The service installation in vehicles with 51 kw (70 bhp) and 55 kw (75 bhp) is not contemplated due to the different engine characteristics.
