I’ve learnt that guys are taking the VR6 gears out and using them in the A3‘s gearbox as well as using the VR6 clutch and pressure plate with a 2.0 16V GTI flywheel.

Does anyone know if there is any other parts or any special info needed?

 

Hmmm...not any thread that I remember in the A3 section. I changed out a 10lb flywheel with a VR6 clutch and pressure plate on my 1.9 TDI and it worked great. Much better clamping power, it spooled a little quicker, and the clutch was a lot lighter. The downside was the chattering after replacing the dual mass flywheel. I don't know if you can keep the same flywheel and just replace the clutch and pressure plate, and have it all still fit? Good luck on your research. Maybe Dave can help you out since he's floating on your same island?

Which gears do you want to change? Did you want a taller 5th gear? Oh well....

Cheers!
