W58 to getrag conversion -parts?


listy

Recommended Posts

Now there are plenty of auto to getrag conversion threads, but what would I need for W58 to getrag?

 

In my mind, its:

 

Getrag 6 speed box

6 speed bell housing?

6 speed clutch

6 speed flywheel

 

Would I need different props/driveshaft?

 

And obviously I would need to get a TT diff (if mine hasn't already (NA-TT) how would I check?)

 

Anything else?

This thread is interesting!

The getrag doesn't have a detachable bellhousing like the W58 I think.

 

There are also some people out there that just swapped the gearbox itself and kept the A01A/B diff by adapting the front propshaft of the 6 Speed to the rear propshaft of the W58.

With the 4.08 gearing of the A01 diff the gears of the V160/161 get a little shorter, but I think not that short. The 6 Speed NAs had a 3.7 gearing, so the difference will be about 10mph top speed.

 

Would be interested if someone did that custom propshaft and kept the A01 diff on here?

 

Regards, Herbert
