- Опубліковано 15 сер 2024
- The process and considerations in swapping a MK 4 VW from an automatic to manual transmission. First of 3 video series, covers things to think about, parts needed, tear down. A little discussion about where to get parts, ECU considerations etc.
This is such an incredible wealth of knowledge that should have so much more attention
Thank you sir
Great detail, this may be the most useful video I've ever found on yt.
I'm a little late to the party. But I just wanted to Thank you for all the thoughtful and very informative videos! I've been wanting to swap my automatic transmission mostly because its drivability is awful, and its previous owner damaged it, I've been hearing about the manual transmissions being a better option. After searching many places I found this video to be more helpful and I appreciate it, now I know where to start to do the job right. You solidified my decision! Thank you again!
Glad it was helpful! good luck!
Just the video I needed. Solidified my decision to swap my gti sense this was the only video clearly stating the needed parts. 3 days you say I take that as a challenge so I’m going for 2😅😅 but really I appreciate it greatly
Go for it! I bet you can do it! I just throw out the three days so people won't get in a rush or try to do it over the weekend and then not be able to get to work on Monday because they don't have their car back together. I think it is is reasonable to do in 2 days
Thank you for all the thought and effort that it clearly took to put these videos together for others! I ran across these only recently after doing a DSG to 6-speed conversion on my 2006 TDI JETTA back in 2016 and THAT was after a failed attempt to "fix" the bad DSG.... Worked great for few months while I attempted sorting through all the TCU triggered faults in the ECU ABS etc.... Long story short, had to park and moved but I'm back to the car 4 years later and wanting to finally resolve so I can SMOG and use as DD.
Here's my question: I've got the full VCDS setup and am heartened you comment (@24:30) that with the TDI you don't need to reflash the ECU if it's a TDI: you just need to re-code the ECU for manual with VCDS. Your conversion is on an MK4 but mine is an MK5..... I'm thinking this might NOT be the case for MK5 TDI ECU??
In other words, I might have to either re-flash my TDI ECU or replace with new ECU (& then obviously deal with IMMO stuff)
What's your thoughts? Thanks 😊
Sorry but Honestly I have no idea. The software/canbus system for the MK 5 is kind of a nightmare. I really don't know if you can recode the MK5 TDI ECU. I have a MK 5 TDI but it came as a manual so I haven't had to try recoding it. Maybe try asking on VW vortex?
Thank you for posting this series, it's so in depth, I'm having trouble finding the wiring diagram in my Bentley for 09a to 02j for the bew but I'll really get into it this weekend, I'm a starter yt mechanic, I'm confident but haven done this before, ur bids make it so much easier
Thanks for the videos. Your tutorials were a big help in my coversion. Very thorough and clear. Great job
Great to hear! glad they were helpful
I like it, I’ve done some projects like this to repair an automatic but never a manual swap, very ambitious!
Car is done at wiring stag car is a beast thank ya
fantastic vid! Possibly the best i have ever seen.
Your videos are fabulous, Andy! I’m watching you because I’m going to do a Jetta mark 5 Ute here in Ireland (so it will be ultra rare here).
Not even interested in converting to manual - I had a long search for a decent DSG auto here, because stick shift is far more common, so auto is more of a novelty in the mark 5 era. Found a car in England and my Ute kit is on order with Mark 😊
Well thank you! The DSG is actually a really nice transmission. I bet you are gonna love it. Saw your post on FB, it’s is a cool blue! Have fun with your build!
The easiest way to deal with that oversize brake pedal is to just drill out the spot welds, the smaller pad is actually underneath the large pad, but I actually prefer to swap out the pedal arm that the video talked about needing a special tool for......but you can do it without the tool by heating the nylon up with a heat gun then use a small screwdriver to spread it a bit while your pulling and it will just slip right off that ball rod going to the master cylinder....great video!
Great video, nice details about what has to happen.
Thanks a million for the great videos, made my swap go smooth as. Just did 02j into a 2001 mk4 1.8t aum. Wiring was almost bang on, and everything else true to the video. Just need to bleed the clutch now and reassemble interior then enjoy it. Thanks again
awesome! glad it was helpful and your swap went well! You may have to bleed the clutch, drive it for a couple days then bleed it again. It can be a bit of a pain
@@hestermannmotorwerks Finally drove it tonight, think there is still a bit of air in the clutch line but she boosts along beautifully 😍 Only issue now is I have no speedo anymore and a VSS code, so will do some diagnosis there
“Do you really wanna take a 500$ car … and put 1,500$ into it” yes…. Yes I do
YES I DO! LOL. So I buy another $500 car for parts for the first $500 car...then decide I like that one too so I have to buy another one for parts for the second one etc etc
EXACTLY! I bought the entire swap from a guy and watched him take it all out...I have everything down to the pedals/starter for $400!
When did Johnny Knoxville start automotive tutorials? Lol seriously, very informative. Thanks
Haha, well Ive never stapled my butt (on purpose) or pooped in a Lowes toilet display but I'll take it as a compliment! LOL
Thanks for making this video. I just bought a 01 golf GTI with a 02 GTI AWP engine from someone who did this swap but didn't finish it. Car runs and drives, but the gauge doesn't work, has 2 different keys (one for door other for ignition), i have 3 ECUs for it. I need it to pass GA emissions, so i need to find out what he missed electrically
That can be tricky buying someone else's unfinished project. Even when they do a good job, it can be challenging figuring out exactly what they did or didn't get done.
As far as your keys go, getting a fob programmed to unlock the doors on your ignition key is one way to tackle it. If you take it to the dealer, they can get you new lock core for the door that matches your ignition key. Might want to get one for the rear hatch also. Not sure how much they charge though
@@hestermannmotorwerks I'm almost done with figuring it out all thanks to you. I really appreciate all the hard work that YOU put into making these videos. God bless man
you are the man! thanks
You're welcome! Glad it was helpful
very knowledgeable
I’m finishing up a 6 speed swap on my vr6, and I’m stumped. When I went to start it for the first time, the key rotated, and nothing happened. No clicking, and I tested the starter and it’s working fine. I by passed the neutral switch for the clutch pedal, and I wired the interlock relay. I’ve checked all my grounds and they’re all on and grounded
double check that you bypassed the clutch pedal switch correctly. It needs the ground to complete the circuit.
Absolutely FANTASTIC tutorial man, thanks so much. I am doing this for my wife's car, we got jetta MK4 1.9 tdi 2003 automatic super cheap from our friends in good shape. Now. It is ALH engine. Can you please help me? Will manual 5 speed transmission from jetta ALH mk4 1.9 tdi 2000 fit with gear ratios? I am assuming it will, right?
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Yes the 2000 trans will work fine. And your wiring will be easier in your swap, you won’t have to mess with the whole VSS circuit just swap connector at the transmission
@@hestermannmotorwerks That sounds good thank you very much. It is gonna be the project of my life...
Starting this tomorrow, with my mk4 auto tdi, swap with a mk4 manual tdi
Awesome good luck! The car will feel more powerful and more responsive !
@@hestermannmotorwerks And tips since I bought a tdi manual for my tdi auto, my car currently has 113k god bless but its an auto, the manual transmission I got was at 291k , and was wondering if you could possible link some wiring diagrams that would make it easier when I'm at that part, transmission came out in the donor car with a little but of fight left in her but I'm one step closer to being complete :) p.s. your video motivated me to do this since I've wanted to do this for the last 2 years
Hi, for audi a4 1.8t 20v 2005, replace for a manual transmission, i need to reflash the ECU or i can swap for manual with VCDS?? Greetings from Brazil.
Really appreciate you putting together this series. We have a 2004 MK4 Jetta w/ 09a. I found a 2003, Beetle Turbo S (1.8t with 02m) Just want to confirm, axles from Beetle will fit Jetta?
Current axles in the Jetta are bolt type. Beetle is nut type. Will I also have use the spindle hub from the Beetle?
Thabks again
Great Video, I want to swap my vr6 01m 4spd auto to a 02m 6spd manual. The axles currently in the hub use a nut at the end. Do you know if all six speeds use a bolt at the end of the axle?
some axles have a nut and some have a bolt. The nut style is more common. should be fairly easy to find.
Thank you for the video.. i have vw sharan 2006 i am 2nd owner of the vehicle and i just knew recently that he swapped the transmission from A/T to manuall but since i am driving this car for almost 5 years the car caused lot's of troubles since the swap was bad..
they swapped only the transmission but the ecu and wiring still the same as A/T..
So right now my problem the car lacks power and feels like it doesn't have enough torque to move.. none of the technicians could solve my problem.. one more thing during the winter when i start the car the accelerator pedal doesn't work unless the car warms up.. couldn't identify the cause of the issue
we don't have the Sharan in the US so Im really not familiar with it. It also will depend on what the engine is and what the transmission was. If it is a TDI (BEW or BRM or maybe even the BHM) you should be able to get the ECU recoded to manual transmission by anyone that has VCDS or a similar code reading system. If it is one of the gas (petrol) engines, you have to get the ECU recoded by someone with EEPROM capabilities or swap the ECU. That could be the reason for loss of power but if it has been driving fine before and now is just having the power loss problem, then it isn't the ECU coding. The accelerator pedal issue could be lack of good ground to the engine. I would first try taking the grounding cable off the transmission, cleaning it very well then reinstalling it. It should be on the top forward bolt of the transmission. If it isn't there, then you will have to follow it from the battery negative cable. It should go down to a bolt under the battery tray where it bolts to the body, then continue over to the engine. Common for people to forget the engine/transmission connection when reinstalling a transmission. It attaches in a different place on A/T vs M/T. Make sure it it is making a good connection. Poor grounds will do all kinds of weird stuff!
@@hestermannmotorwerks thank you for the help and yes its 1.9 tdi i noticed the loss of the power since day one and the seller told me it's the turbo needs to be replaced turns out the turbo was just fine .. i will try to record the ecu as it's still shows as an A/T this might me be the main issue
? About pilot bearing is there one or no
yes there is and I do recommend replacing that with a new one instead of a junkyard one if you can afford to! Also called a throwout bearing.
Sweet !
can you help me with the electrical diagram of a 2002 jetta i watched your videos repeatedly but the pins are in different connectors
yes you will have different electronics. You have an 01M auto which is actually easier. You won't have to do any thing with the VSS circuit because the 01M has a speed sensor in the same place as the 02J. Just switch it over. Other than that I would recommend a Bentley manual.
Can you help with a 99 mk4 glx vr6 originally auto now 5spd…. Need the cruise cancel switch an reverse lights, car has abs power heated seats sunroof
Watch video #2 in this series for the wiring
Hello, I am swapping a jetta mk4 from automatic to manual and have had bad luck getting an ECU in working conditions for manual transmission!
Does anyone know of a store or website where I can get the ecu?
Hi I have a gli automatic with bad transmission but I also have a donor tdi 5 speed what are the cons of using tdi in to the gli I really need some more info on this thanks !!!!
you might have to do a little research about gearing but basically the TDI trans will be geared too long for the gas engine. The car will feel low on power. Ever accidentally used the next gear up when driving? Started from a light in 2nd type thing. Maybe not quite as bad as that but it will feel like that. Good news for you is the TDI trans are usually in high demand. You should be able to sell the TDI trans for more than what a gasser trans will cost
I have a 05, 1.9 tdi bew with 09a transmission and I'm looking to do this. When looking for a parts car would my best bet be to look for another tdi because of the transmission gear ratio thing you mentioned? Or could I use an o2j outta of gasser mk4?
I highly recommend a TDI trans for correct gearing. You can physically bolt on and use a 2.0 or a 1.8t trans but unless you are trying to adjust gearing for another modification (maybe really big wheels) I think you will be disappointed with the gearing. You can use the trans of a BEW or an ALH engine and it will be perfect.
Does this apply for a 2014 vw golf 2.5 pzev? Also is it hard to do a forward wheel drive to rear wheel drove conversion?
Mechanically its similar but the electronics/wiring is more complicated. Doing an AWD conversion is possible but you will need a lot of parts and you may have to do some sheet metal fabrication. The floor pans on the AWD models are different to allow space for the driveshaft and rear differential. The fuel tank is different also for the same reason
are you able to use a AT harness for a Manual Trand or rewire it if you have the correct connectors?
That’s what video #2 is all about!
What transmission do you recommend for a 12v and a 24v, ive got both automatics and i dont know which one fits which
I like the 6 speeds (02M) but they are more expensive and the clutch and flywheel and the axles are more expensive also. The 02J 5 speed is a little more robust though so if you are going to build a high horsepower engine, you might want to consider the 5 speed. The VR6 transmissions are different than the other engines. The bolt pattern is different on the VR6 but both the 12 v and the 24V are the same as far as transmission pattern. So any VR6 trans will work for either of them.
Tus videos son excelentes pero no los entiendo muy bien ya que mi inglés no está al 100 podrías mandar video dos de tres en español gracias Un abrazote
What is the tool look like for the brake pettle
It kind of looks like a big C with one leg folded in a bit. About 10 inches from end to end
im assuming that in big lines this video applies to the a3 8L as well? got a multitronic in there now but really wanna make it a manual since thats when this engine's potential really unlocks lol. Hope any of you guys know! thanks :)
Yes it should be really similar. I don't know for a fact but would guess the 109 relay wiring is identical. The ECU is probably different pin numbers and color codes though.
How much does it cost to change vs golf 4 from auto transmission to manual
That really one of the major points in the video. Can be any where from $1000 to $5000.
Quick question, love the series by the way, great help. My downpipe is welded to the cat like the car in your video. If I cut it like you did, what type of union do I use? Haven't done exhaust clamps before not sure exactly how to fit it back together. Thanks.
if you do a google search or Amazon search for your exhaust OD and add "exhaust coupler" you'll find some options. Here is an example for 3 inch. These are the style I prefer. Just ensure you get one for the size of your exhaust. www.amazon.com/dp/B078TZCMX5/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_IT2OFbZ03MMH3?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Id say the only thing u missed is the rear main seal.
What's a 99 Jetta TDI with a 6 speed manual swap car worth? (Netherlands Skoda diesel transmission swap kit) Car has leather, 215k, new timing set and head gasket... I've done a lot of work to make it mechanically superb.
It all depends on buyers in your area. Right now the used car market is fairly high in my area but I couldn't give you a value that is accurate in your area. Put up an ad with what you want for it and see what happens!
Great and helpful video!! Goes into great depth. I’ve got a question though. Will a ecu from a manual 2.0 work on a automatic 1.8t? Or would I have to get one from a 2.0. (I don’t care if the vin doesn’t match)
You need a 1.8t ecu to run the 1.8T.
I have a friend who said you can use the same ecu and cluster if you jumper a few things on the harness to get the speedo to work.
What was wrong with the automatic gearbox, it was a catastrofic failure or a personal choice of the owner? I know is off-topic but I will highly apreciate your opinion on automatic gearboxes before dsg. As far as I know there are 2 models for mk4 one for petrol and one for diesel but I might be wrong...
This particular car, several shift solenoids were going bad. A new valve body and solenoids would have fixed it but the owner wanted a 6 speed.
The mk4 era automatics are not the best. They can be fine transmissions but need to be serviced every 40k or so and most people don’t do that.
Trying to 1.9tdi (bew) swap my mk1 rabbit. Here to see what I need to do to make it a manual.
I swapped an ALH into a mk1 rabbit pickup.my approach was to just take as much harness as I could and put it in the MK1. If that is your approach while you have the harness out, I’d make the wiring corrections. Then you can pull out all the wiring you don’t need anymore making the install a little cleaner. Don’t for get the fuel boost pump on the BEW
@@hestermannmotorwerks I'm kind of cheating and sending my harness off to s&p auto from both the mk4 and mk1, they have a whole conversion kit from mounts to wiring. My only problem is I trying to swap from an auto tdi to a manual tdi. Trying to figure out what transmission to get and where I can find one because there like candy and gone as soon as there listed lol
So can i swap a 1.9 tdi 110hp automatic gearbox to 1.9 tdi 131hp 6 speed manual (i really need to know)
Yes and that PD130 6 speed is a great trans!
Hoping to manual swap my mk5 from an o9g automatic to kpf 5 speed. From your knowledge, will i need anything additional from your listed parts? Seeing as the cars are only 4-5 years apart im assuming its the same process as what you've shown.
Should be pretty close but the electronics are significantly different in MK5s vs MK4s so you may have some issues there
Is the electrical connector the same for the auto and manual starter motor?
Yes it is just a post for the big cable and the signal wire connector is the same
I have a 2004 GTI 1.8t It used to be Tiptronic Transmission, but a friend of mine swapped a Manual 5 Speed Transmisión, everything worked except the Speedometer, did he made a mistake with the wiring harness? Or it is just the Spped sensor that may not work? RPM And all the needles work except the speedometer.
The speed sensor wiring is kinda confusing. I would guess that it is missing a link somewhere but your friend may have done all the wiring correctly. It is possible the sensor (or even the connector) is bad. I haven't seen a sensor go bad though. RPM and all the other gauges get their input from different places so that really has nothing to do with the speed circuit
@@hesty32 :(
So I have an manual 04 bug 1.8t and a auto 1.8t Jetta should I have everything I need ?
Im not 100% sure on the 1.8T ECU wiring between a Jetta and Beetle. Other than that you have everything you need
you are probably better off just getting the Jetta ECU reprogramed so you don't have to worry about the IMMO anyway.
@@hestermannmotorwerks If I’m just going race car I really don’t need the speed sensor and the reverse lights so I don’t even have to cut into the wiring harness right
I’m going to do this next week I bought a whole car for $375 to do this swap
thats the best way to do it. You know you have al the parts! and you have some extras of other stuff
Ive got a 03 1.8l turbo new beetle. Would this be the same process?
yes beetle is almost exactly the same
Can u give me info on who can flash the eprong on ecu
Blake Idziak at "The Dub Shop" in Ocala fl. on face book: facebook.com/The-Dub-Shop-314755221877423/ Shoot him a PM on FB
I have followed these videos religiously throughout my project and had great success. My only issue is with reprogramming the ECU. I took the car to a VW specialist but they were unable to get the necessary changes to save to the ECU. Any suggestions as to how to proceed?
The TDI ECUs can be reprogrammed with VCDS but the 1.8, VR6 and 2.0 ecus won’t save. It has to be reprogrammed thru the EEPROM. Many Tuners can do that for you. I use Blake Idziak in Ocala FL. You can send him the ECU via mail. He is usually pretty quick to get it done and back in the mail to you. You can find him on Facebook as “The Dub Shop” facebook.com/The-Dub-Shop-314755221877423/
I usually get the immo defeat done at the same time
So had the ECU coded to 02J via eeprom by a tuning shop. Prior to this I was getting communication error codes for both the ECU & TCU. Since the coding those error codes are no longer an issue. However my GTI is equipped with an Anti Slip Regulation switch which is currently not functional. I believe it is causing another communication error with the ABS system. The code is generic so I assume I may need to do some more wiring. Any experience with this?
@@brettgrande8992 Ive have had ASR issues but not as a direct result of a trans swap. most common reason is a sensor not reading a wheel magnet. Can be a bad sensor, damaged doing a wheel bearing, or built up metal shavings from someone that goes to the metal on brake pads lol. I have seen a couple that were broken wires from forgetting to unplug them when removing the hub. . I think this issue is not related to your ECU programming. I'd check sensors and wires carefully before spending too much time tracking down ECU signals.
@@hestermannmotorwerks thank you and stay tuned!
If it's a tdi, to me, it's worth it.
artdeco101010 yeah that’s what I think! Love my TDIs ! Bought plenty of autos that didn’t work and swapped em to manuals
Hestermann Motorwerks I have a 2003 vow TDI golf with a 4speed auto, can I swap it to a 6speed manual swap easily? because my highway gearing is really bad it’s Reving at 3300rpm at 90mph and drinking fuel
What will they do if the vins dont match? I'm asking for a freind. Lol 🤣 but seriously what will they do I mean if both cars are clean they cant do anything right?
All depends on your state. Here in Florida it doesn’t matter. In CA it might not pass smog test even if everything else is good cuz they might say it’s been tampered with
Shit, didn't get the ecu
Hey could we talk on a different platform I need some help?
you can email me on my work email andrew@hestermannmotorwerks.com
Anyone else bought a whole car just to get the standard trans off it.
Ive done that several times!
Can get all these parts for a few hundred easy
it all depends on where you are and how much you get new. If you get a new clutch, that will cost you a few hundred. But you can buy a wrecked car for $500 and get everything you need if you don't mind using used.
Thanks a million for the great videos, made my swap go smooth as. Just did 02j into a 2001 mk4 1.8t aum. Wiring was almost bang on, and everything else true to the video. Just need to bleed the clutch now and reassemble interior then enjoy it. Thanks again
Thats great! congrats on your swap!
