Yesterday in the mail, I received two nice new parts. Brand new set of 1996 B4 CHA code TDI 0.717 02A gears for my 02J.

I also received a few stickers for my winter steelies project.

More details will be posted as I am working on them.

Ordered a few more tools for my set to get this oily grease bomb together (aka. Transmission). Ill get the gears in when I get the sockets. For now, they will proudly sit on my desk.

So I am back again, just have not had the time lately to post to here. Some more news on my transmission switch. I have a VR6 clutch and G60 14lb flywheel setup with a new throw out bearing. I am also waiting on receiving my new 0.717 02A CHA code 5th gear set with endbell gasket. I did the calculations using a transmission ratio calculator and I figured out this would be the perfect gearing for my 2L transmission. At 2800rpm in 5th, the car will be going 75mph (highway cruising on LI) which should yield me in the low to medium 30mpg range. I am still looking for a shift tower, axles (confirmed required), trans side mk4 mount, clutch master and slave cylinder and other various bits. Should be fun.
