I guess what I’m getting at, is this even remotely possible to graft into Mk2 syncro? Assuming a matching angle drive could be fitted to an 02C trans and the diff itself could be fitted to the rear subframe, would it be a plausible route to a truly locking rear diff in a Mk2 syncro..? [

In a discussion I had with Marcel(Dutchdub) he told me that these diffs will bolt up to the same mounts as the Haldex rear diff. This means that by using one of his (or dutchbuild’s) kits, you could install one of these in your golf.
The matching angle drive comes from a SEAT 5 speed with AWD. A common part used in haldex swaps when the original 5 speed o2c syncro gearbox is retained. Nutter4x4 has been running one in his haldex swap, but it dosn’t like his power levels![]
Below are some links to images of parts used in the VWMS Rallye. These are same diff, but one has a VC ellimination drive flange.
Here are links to several photos of the T4 diff.
I tried to put photos directly in this post using the “img” command, but for some reason, it won’t work with my jpegstore photos. I suspect that it is because I have used an ampersand(&) in the name of my image folder.
By Sunday I might be able to post some actual photos of the VWMS Rallye rear diff, both with & without VC elimination drive flange, along with other tasty VWMS items, as we are all off to somewhere rather special on Saturday! []
I must not forget to charge the camera batteries [:0]
