Jetta Syncro Engine Conversion

[SamSam]

G60 reverse switch.

Just a quickie – am I right in thinking the the rallye/g60 syncro reverse switch engages the rear drive train and light but nothing else?
As in if I don’t run one I’ll still have full syncro usability whilst going forward – yes?

Thanks!
(Updates this week hopefully)

its a bugger when your let down by things like this, hope one turns up for you!

Apart from the brake lights, the switch controls the freewheel lock so you have 4wd when reversing,
the normal state for this is for the freewheel to be just that & Freewheel
think of a pedal bike with a normal freewheel hub as opposed to 1 with a fixed wheel hub

btw lloyd, Did you see that Sam might have a spare 25mm VC unit?

Hello all!

Nice little read catching up on missed posts.

September 2018 I was ploughing through the Jetta project when a bad motorcycle crash left me in a place where doing the normal stuff was nigh on impossible so the Jetta took a back seat.
Anyway – currently checking over parts I have and parts surplus to requirement (memory a little hazy still) so may have some bits up in the for sale section soon.
I’ll put in some updates as soon as I have something worth reading.

Talking of bits for sale, there’s a mk3 VR6 syncro for sale on facebook if anyone is interested (I’ll post in the relevant section). I have tried multiple times to make contact but have heard nothing as yet (I guess it’s not to be) 🙁
Perhaps someone else will have more luck…
