DRIVELINE

I have a "little bit" done here too.

Mods to My Driveline Include:
�Quaife Six Speed Gearkit
�Quaife ATB Differential
�AUTOTECH Lightweight Flywheel (10 lbs.)
�Sachs Power Clutch
�VW Corrado Based Hydraulic Clutch Lines
�VW Corrado Based Cable Shifter Linkage
�VW Corrado Pedal Assembly

The gearkit came as a box of gears.

To install the Quaife gearkit, many components had to be changed. My original transmission was the VW02Y, a close ratio, 5 speed transmission. The 6 speed kit does not fit into this gearbox so I purchased a VW Corrado gearbox, VW 02A.

For assembly of the 6 speed, I relied on my cousin's skill and knowledge.(http://webpages.charter.net/geoffvr6/)
Who knows how it would have turned out if I would had built it.

A scoop near 5th gear was grinded down on the gearbox so everything would fit correctly. He also had to drill out rivots on the stock differential to get the gear off.

Scoop mod

Many other areas of my driveline had to be changed as well. My Jetta came stock with the following, which had to be replaced:
�Cable clutch
�Rod style shifter linkage
�210mm clutch and flywheel
�Jetta Dash (because of the mechanical speedometer)
�Jetta pedal assembly
�Jetta starter

The items I used to replace the stock parts that wouldn't work are:
�Corrado hydraulic clutch lines and clutch master cylinder
�Corrado cable shift linkage
�AUTOTECH lightweight flywheel (228 mm)
�Sachs power clutch (228 mm)
�Corrado dash (because of the electronic speedometer)
�Corrado pedal assembly
�Corrado starter

The stock G60 Corrado flywheel weighs in at 22 lbs. AUTOTECH's only weighs 10!

I also added a Quaife ATB differential for better traction, and a little personal enjoyment!

Autocross

I love autocrossing. To me...the only reason to build up a car is to DRIVE IT, and drive it hard.

Here's some pics of me racing at a local autocross.
