What goal would this achieve by putting a AWD/PP transmission in a Non PP GTI.. like what is actually different in the transmission..
Outside of lighting and bigger breaks , the manual transmission between the GTIs are actually different?? I’m confused
I sound naive but I’m lost in the thought of the transmissions being different
In the world of “oh shit” there’re only so many options. When he broke his transmission he bought the lowest mileage option he could find, not knowing the differences it ended up being from a PP car (his car is non PP).
I go over it in the video, which I’m editing now since you guys all seem interested.
Have you installed any 4th gear supports or other alternatives to a new set of gears?
No, this is only my second 02Q project. Didn’t think potential leaks were worth the risk on my daily, & Mark (owner in this video) just needed his car back on the road.
He has a spare core now, so the goal is to go all out with that one someday.
So... You should be aware that when the time comes for me to build an AWD MK7 TDI I'll be sending you a couple transmissions.
At which point you can finally make yourself useful for us TDI owners 
.
So you wanna keep the long gears w/AWD?
That would be cool, I always dreamed of TDI swapping a Mk4 R32 (back when you could buy a blown motor roller for dirt cheap).
I’m actually not seeking this type of work out, although not many people seem to offer it. A lot of it is kind of a two person job to do it efficiently (my transmission took months, Mark and I tore down two and built up one yesterday).
What I’m getting at is if I build a shipped in transmission I’ll need to hire in a second set of hands (plenty of aircraft mechanics around here to help) so the price would reflect paying two techs a full day.
