APTuning Transmission Rebuild and Upgrade Services!!

[Tom@APTuning]

Sounds like possibly something with the shift tower/forks inside the trans

The problem is once it grinds once it starts causing irreversible damage to the hub and syncros

Rebuild are $300 plus parts

[v.dubluv]

$550 plus core, have plenty in stock

I'm ready.i send a email no reply.Tom please call me 2128449778/gill.

I talked to you day before yesterday I thought I was waiting to here from you on what you wanted to do for clutch

[kabek]

APT,

Looking for some expert advice.

I have a Mk IV Golf, APR stage 3 with a SPEC Stg2 VR6 clutch, G60 single-mass steel Flywheel, with a swapped out taller 5th gear for optimal freeway cruising. Well I have been having an issue shifting into 3rd gear in approximately the 2500-3500 range whether upshifting or down shifting. When trying to put it into gear it gets kicked out and the shifter reverberates there. So today did a transmission fluid change to the synthetic AMS 75W-90 hoping that would fix it. The fluid swap did help a bit but the issue isn't completely resolved. What do you think?

may be something with the shifter linkage/cables but that would be the lucky thing, other more likely issue is probably something with the 3/4 selector hub

hi.

i currently have a 2001 vw GTI VR6 with 160,000 miles and the 5-speed manual transmission, and every now and then a gear will grind. i'm thinking a rebuild will be needed soon. so now i was wondering... does the rebuild that you guys do support 350 hp? i've always heard that the 02J 5-speed is weak, but i was hoping it would be possible to build it up so that it can handle some extra power and high RPM shifts, yet still be good for daily driving. so yea, let me know what your guys' rebuild is capable of handling, thanks.

Do you sell beefed up syncro and gear rebuild kits for an 02j or is it just factory replacement parts? I am doing a gt35r build on my 02 gti 1.8t and either need to beef up the trans or swap it out, please let me know, thanks.

the only options really for that would be to switch to 02A syncros and gear assemblies, the syncro teeth are twice as big therefore more durable and the gear teeth are slightly larger. This however doesnt add a whole lot in terms of all out strength.

Another option is to run our Race Gearset which may be need for teh power a 35r is capable of.

feel free to email for further questions or info

great info, thanks, i sent you an email

I'm in need of a transmission but not just another stock one that will break if I floor it. As of right now I have more money than I usually have so I'm tempted to buy something that will hold over 500wtq. I need basically the best I can get for an 03 1.8t whether that's a built 5spd or 6spd I don't care. I just want something (If it exists) that doesn't have to be rebuilt/replaced every month. I have 8 cores in my garage and they all are destroyed. Some break when shifting into 2nd or 3rd. But one has broke while doing a 3rd gear pull. Now that's just disappointing not being able to go WOT in a car you've invested so much money into. But if I can't find a transmission that can take the power I'm going to be parting the car out and building another honda. I can have just as much fun driving around in a Honda with the same transmission for years but with the gti I've had 8 in 2 years... Please get back to me asap. Whether it's buying a whole new transmission or sending one of mine it just let me know what it'll cost me to get one. If you could send it in a pm that'd also be nice. Thanks.

Hello, I have a 2004 24v GLI. Tranny code 02m. Its pretty much on its last leg i believe. How much for a rebuilt transmission with a warranty if possible? shipped to Greenland NH.

A rebuilt trans would be roughly $1700, what is wrong with yours? 99% of the time it is substantially cheaper to rebuild what you have.

Feel free to email me tom@aptuning.com with more details

Just wanted to pop in and say thanks to Mike@ APT for the 1 day turn around on my trans with 1-4 race gear set and lsd install THANKS APT! I will hopefully have it installed tomorrow.

[Slam-Hog]

My o2a doesn't go into reverse. I think pretty much all the syncros are shot, and the axel seals leak..... yeah I think thats everything. lol

How much for a rebuilt trans? 178WHP. Something thats going to last. I'd have two cores.

Hello, I just got off the phone with Ryan at your shop. He is telling me you arent going to be able to get my gli back together until next Tuesday?

I'm sorry but this is definitely not the avenue to address this. I handle online sales and advertising. However the reason being that not until the following week is probably that we are already booked for Monday-Wednesday and will be gone from Thursday-Sunday for Waterfest.

Feel free to call, email, or pm but trying to resolve this via our transmission repair thread isn't the most feasible way, mainly because Im just a middle man.

Thanks
Tom

[jagt21VR6]

Thanks for getting back to me Tom. I did call and talk to Ryan so waiting is what I will be doing...I will edit that out for you...

Hey guys, I broke my tower housing on my 02J 5sp and it took out the locking adjustment. Also, the tower looks to be stripped out. I'd like to replace the assembly and be done with it. Could you guys quote me on the assembly?

Normally looking about $150 but I might not even have any available right now. email me a pic of yours so i can see what style please.

The reverse gear is going out on my car. It pops out unless I hold it in with the shifter and it sort of rattles or grinds when backing up. All 5 forward gears are just fine. It's all stock (2.0 ABA/020 trans) but I'm out in California. How much am I looking at with shipping for either a swap for a rebuilt 020 or to rebuild my transmission?

Also, I've seen a couple different comments about replacing the differential rivets with high strength bolts on 020 transmissions. Is this part of a standard rebuild? If not, is it something that you can do for an additional cost?

Thanks for any help you can offer.

4cyl? 6cyl? code? do you have a core?

[hootyburra]

4cyl? 6cyl? code? do you have a core?

4cl o2m. I have one from an 04 GLI that lost first.
I had talked with someone from your company on the phone a few weeks ago about fixing the fork or a synchro.

Any recommendations for a clutch package to handle up to 400tq?

It would def be cheaper to fix yours, to repair yours you are only looking at about $500 if its just the fork. Whereas a rebuilt would be $1500 plus core

I would probably go with the South Bend Stage 3 daily. Holds the power yet still reasonable to drive.

Alright. I don't think it is the fork I had every other gear except 1st.
The previous owner supposedly had a SBstg3 in there and I toasted that. I will know for sure when I get the transmission pulled today and I will give you a call. Thanks for the info.

The car is an '05 GTI 1.8T 5spd, I recently bought it with 75k on the clock. About a month ago, I started to get a bad whine from the transmission, I figured it might be a bad throwout bearing, but before I could act on getting a new clutch/bearing installed one morning while driving home the transmission became VERY hard to get into gear.

I had to slam it into pretty much all of the gears. I made it home and parked the car, when I started it later that morning the car was now ENGAGED IN GEAR in all gears, even in NEUTRAL. The clutch has to come up waaaaay past the normal frication point to engage and even when engaged the car does not move smoothly, but lunges forward violently and chirps the tires then stops abruptly. It does this in reverse as well.

I was considering a used trans and found a few for $475, but it seems $300 plus parts might be a better option....so to the guys at APT, any estimates would be great...I'd yank the trans and bring it up there next weekend, I need my baby back on the road!!
