Sweet video. Just got my support. Going to install this week. We're did you get that support that goes on the transmission the one that's flat and goes on the top? I am making 500 plus hp is that something I need to worry about?
Just curious if you guys at any point thought of welding the middle housing piece of the 4th gear input shaft support on the outside instead of just sealing it with silicone. than the inner piece inside the housing wouldn't even be needed. Looking into building a 337 GTI and find your vids very insightful.
I’ve seen people weld them, which would work fine. But we just used the screws to hold it. The silicone works great and doesn’t leak at all. I’m sure welding is fine too tho🤙. Welding to cast aluminum does suck at times. As long as we don’t have problems, I’d probably stick with bolts next time too. Just personal preference⚙️⚙️ Good luck with your build!!🔧
No, i just went by pictures i seen online. It depends on what website you buy the gear support from though. If you buy it from darkside developments i think they link a pdf file of instructions when you buy it
If you read my description I say that they are in line with the case casting marks also say that in the video.. At 2:14 you can see it perfectly🤙 Like Ricky said pics offline is all we had!! Good luck🏁
I’ve seen it done, but welding to cast aluminum usually isn’t the best and makes a nasty weld. Bolting also gives you some adjustability🔧. Although I’m sure welding would be fine too🔥 Thanks for watching🏁🏁
You're right(also the bearing surface), but it was just a small tack. Also I do NOT want that core coming out, that would be worse, so ill ''risk'' welding to it🔥 Thanks for tuning in
I’m just about to drop an 02m, just like yours. This info is priceless.
Unlike the darkside stuff, which does have a price. 😪
Yeah it gets expensive!! 💰

You talking about the plate with the 3 bolt holes? I got everything for the trans from a website called darkside developments, They are out of the UK
@PostPros yes I just oreded mine. Will be here then I can clean the cases and assemble with a wavetrac and all of these mods and have price of mind.

instablaster.
how did you measure or set preload for the gear and input shafts?
great video, I'm doing the same process.
I have a doubt, according to the manual, do I have to adjust the differential with a clearance of 0.30mm?
Not a clearance of ,30mm but a preload of ,30mm. It squishes the bearings ,30mm🤙
why didnt you do the steel forks upgrade?

Great info!
Did the 4th gear support come with instructions on how far up on the case to drill

5:55 why not just weld them on?

You welded to a heat treated shaft. :/
