Transmission Is Complete! & Somehow I Never Noticed This... ( MK3 O2J Shifter Swap )

[@michaelmccaw9910]

Use a flat piece of metal over the two studs. Make it long enough to reach each side of the tunnel. Drill the two holes and there you support. Super solid.

[@TheMatissre]

Engine guessing game: my guess is a vw w8 engine from b5 passat

[@timosmond3625]

You could add a metal bracket to re-enforce the plastic at the back of your shifter box. Plus your bolts at the front.

[@klubstompers]

Yea 2 aluminum plates one on top and one below the plastic. I always keep aluminum in different thicknesses laying around to make custom mounts and brackets. Easy to cut, bend, and drill, plus it polishes up real nice, and does not rust or need paint!!

[@BerserkerGang2019]

Guessing you may have a 3.6 v6 swap out of a us specs passat

[@jonas-vdv]

pretty sure theres no difference between the US and EU 3.6 vr6

[@marvinlutje4247]

Matt is in the Comment section. Junkyard Gang ✌️😂

[@silven412]

@@jonas-vdv probably not but i doubt you'd find a euro 3.6 at the junkyard, passat's with a 3.6 are worth gold and are never found in junkyards because they always end up being rebuilt

[@jonas-vdv]

@@silven412 thats true, im not trying to say he has a 3.6 vr6, just not sure if the US spec is different

[@silven412]

@@jonas-vdv oh yeah i just meant to say if he did find one it's probably gonna be from a US spec car hahaha

[@cbaumy3415]

That trans is looking fresh!!! And all these spare parts are nice. Every time I see you walk through the junk yard and see all the mk4s I get jealous haha I would be grabbing so many parts for mine.

[@PieterKuijk]

I looked up the part number for the 02j box you mentioned. It turns out it is also used on caddy's. Those are plenty around, ar least where I live. Oh yeah, having another guess at the engine. Porsche v6 out of a Cayenne? That would be a sweet swap!

[@Cars-coffee]

Yes caddy/seat inca

[@mikedoraene6088]

Always watching the videos! Keep them posted, grts from belgium! Mk2 driver 😁

[@bluequad9492]

Sick video Christian! Keep on going!

[@MysteryGarage]

Porsche Cayenne 3.6 is my pick... mainly because I wouldn’t be able to resist either. Cheers

[@Glenn_VW]

Caddy mk2 TDI also have the shifterbox you are looking for, same as ibiza and polo 6n

[@nathanmacleod331]

I’d still make two metal plates for each side of that and bolt it up tight w a crush washer and bolt

[@silven412]

man i need to visit the junkyard where you work, so many cool cars and parts! now i'm wondering if it's worht the 5,5 hour drive xD

[@thicclasagna]

very interesting to see quite a bit of US Cars in Germany.

[@Mk3Smith]

Lots of people bring their cars with them from the states when they get stationed here 😬

[@davidmiller3677]

That shift boot is cool ! Would look good in the savoy

[@vwcoryrado]

Great content on the 02j shifter box.

[@kooshm]

Hey Christian, sorry the Toledo shifter box didn’t work out! I ended up buying like 5 before I got the direct fit one too! Problem was the Ibiza/polo model years don’t align so it’s hard to tell which year you need! I’ll tag you on insta with the picture of the one I used!

[@adellisdevelopmen6593]

Least you have spare shifters for when one breaks 🤣😂🤣

[@2-rusty-boyz]

Caddy iÍbiza and Polo 6n TDI ar the right shifterbox for Golf 3 ! Mfg OCWX

[@craighughes4023]

Put a metal bracket across your bolts put through the plastic on the o2j that would strengthen that up dont need to be chunky metal

[@charliegonzalez9158]

Love the content 👌 keep up the work you are keeping me motivated on my builds too thank you

[@kylestumpo7372]

Awesome video today. The engine debate is driving me crazy lol. I'm gonna say either a tdi or a g60.

[@acolesie]

If you want to part with one of those shifter boxes I'd happily take one off your hands

[@Albert87nl]

all i can say is i have that 92/93 era vr6 and a polo Shiffter box mounts directly into it.. but my 97 gti cant.. its missing a bracker inside the tunnel. but can be fixed by drilling two holes or making that bracket. it depends if you shiftbox is a passat type or polo type (dont ask VW is funny with crap like that)) polo box uses mk4 bits works like a charm doent need cutting. or fuck ups shiftboots over time ! just my 0.2 cents :P mk3s are funny things to work with

[@Albert87nl]

polo will use the center front bolt hole fyi!

[@ningning57]

How about just drilling and taping the center hole job done.

[@P48L1N]

Actually that is not a Mk4 SEAT Ibiza, is a MK2 second (and last) facelift, which shares a lot with the Mk3 Golf and the engines with both Mk3 and Mk4 (it was sold between 1993 and 2002). And my guess is still for the 2.0 16v ABF.

[@aircoolednation423]

a family of o2j linkages

[@Golfmk3tutorial]

here in Brazil and difficult to find parts for our mk3 golf. hugs from Brazil friend.

[@brodycarr3353]

You ever figure out why neutral seemed to be leaning so far back and when in 1st/ 3rd/ 5th it seemed to be in the neutral position?

[@paulburke7879]

Sorry on the wrong guess. But I can only think of another power plant from the other vw family🤷🏾‍♂️

[@robertsujan9726]

maybe TDI? 2.5 would be interesting or something bigger like R50

[@viliusjuknevicius]

Use audi TT mk1/ seat vario 02J shiftter, it's direct fit. Your mk3 has 3 holes, early mk3 had 4 holes which is direct fit...

[@demoritzz5327]

Sad to see a toledo like that...mine is a vr5 though🥰

[@redbassboosz5222]

Passat W8 4.0 Engine 😮?

[@fightergabriel]

is it a 2.0 16v abf?

[@fluffstar_]

Here eventually lol 😂 #notfirst I’ve just loaded up on Monster Energy 👿

[@GEMC98]

Are you interested in Selling one of the 02J Shifter Boxes and maybe also a Shift Tower?

[@kempie2007]

Have a look at Audi A1 shifter There supposed to be direct fit

[@ereltuz]

shifter thing from a transporter!

[@initialspeed]

I wonder what else came with that box?!🤔

[@PoptartGenocide]

3.6 vr6 or a ttrs? Probably not a ttrs but that'd be sick.

[@claudiubotezatu5940]

i think it is a w8 the motor! hi from Romania!

[@Danillo1124]

It could be a V8 TDi from the Touareg?

[@jonasrademacher8605]

Why you dont take the shift cables out of a golf 3 Tdi ?

[@andrewlyons6732]

That Toledo ? Could you get the driver side wee cover that's on the bumper and ship it to the UK I've been trying to get one for ages 🤣

The engine is eighter a w8 or a 3.6 vr6 i guess

[@marcellzinniel]

Its a 6 Cylinder from a BMW E36, possibly M3. What did I win? :D

[@TheRareKind559]

[@jaymistry9311]

Hey christian why do i have a feeling the new engine is a TDI because in your past videos you mentioned that someday i will do a TDI SWAP

[@collinlaque964]

Could be a v10 tdi

[@sneakuhatx9464]

I’m going to guess you got a Phaeton V8

Why swap a good automatic car over to a manuel any disadvantages to automatic other than you know being slow and shift timing. Just a minor question is all.

The Savoy was never an automatic it was a manual car to begin with.
