sorry for wasting peps time
been in conact with wilco Dutch build and he is convinced me to go 6speed he is going to supply me with all the parts i just need to find a mk3 vr6 suspension and bed set up so i can use wide track

thanks for all your advise nutter4x4 its been a great help, what are you running power wise with your 02m , and is it a 02m six speed from a early TT

cheers

right ok i have had a little think about it i am going to use a 5 speed for definate and try and find a solution for the obviously weaker transfere casing, i have found a gearbox on ebay at moment which i beleive is one of your friends nutter

so what i will do is use the vr6 box with a 4cyl bellhousing with a peloquin front diff this should be really well geared for my 16vt hopefully ,using a skoda/a3 transfere boxwith the transfere box i am going to look along the lines of getting my mate to CADand CNC a new stronger casing or as mentioned on a presvious topic sleving it with ally

as for shafts am i right in thinking that i am not going to shorten any of them? just fit 4 motion innrer c.v joints for extra strength

controlling it i am going to use a manual controller from sqs

does this sound like it should work nutter4x4

cheers

i would prefere not to go with the o2m because of the shere weight of the box and personally i can’t stand any 6 speed gearbox , i allready have the skoda haldex sitting around a mates house with a 02m out of a tt
i’d like to stay with the idea of the skoda but only as long as i do not need to shortn any shafts if the case is that i will need to get custom shafts then i will use an 02m
are all haldex diffs compatable with the 17/27 ratio transfere box

cheers

ok i may push my luck power wise but you have broken yours on a drag strip when you go from nothing to everything , did you ever sleeve the transfer case as i do know a man who is amazing with machiinig and tigging ? you seem like you have not had much luck with haldex?

how about the shafts?

Fair game, I still think that Norwich has more tractors than Ipswich[] and if it makes any difference I was born and lived in Ipswich for 11 years
