To fit a Golf Mk3 gearbox, first, ensure the vehicle is on a level surface and securely supported on jack stands. Remove the battery, driveshafts, and any components obstructing access to the gearbox, such as the exhaust and starter motor. Unbolt the old gearbox from the engine and the mounting points, then carefully lift it out. Position the new gearbox in place, secure it to the engine and mounts, and reassemble the removed components in the reverse order.
No they fit different, although mk2 and mk3 and some mk4 polo gearboxes will fit. You want an 8P gearbox.
Yes, I have it done on mine. The MK3 2.0 gearbox fails when it gets to high mileage. The Mk2 1.8 gearbox is bulletproof.
Yes, the gearbox from a 1.8 Golf Mk3 can fit a Golf GTI Mk3 with a 2.0 engine, as both vehicles share a similar platform and drivetrain components. However, it's essential to verify compatibility regarding specific model years and any modifications that may be needed for proper installation. Additionally, consider the gear ratios, as they may differ between the two models, potentially affecting performance.
yes they will
Nope
yes as long as they are the same stud fitment. The mk4 golf is 5x100 bolt pattern and the mk3 golf is 4x100. unless it's a vr6 model which has the 5x100 bolt pattern so in general the mk4 wheels will not fit a mk 3.
No they do not. The Mk3 uses an entirely different headlamp as compared to the Mk4. They will only fit if you swap the front end of your Mk3 with a Mk3.5 Cabriolet. Furthermore, Hella Makes Headlamp units that look very similar to the mk4 headlamps.
no
It's located on the top of the gearbox -- has 2 wires going to it.
IT SHOULD BE A STRAIGHT SWAP PROVIDING 98 GOLF IS A MK3.
Yes, albeit new engine and gearbox mounting need to be fabricated.
if you need to ask then i would get someone who knows what to do as it ain't a 5min job but it ain't hard either but not for the beginner to do.
