Where is a place to order the stamped metal plate? I bent mine a bit so I want to get a new one.
I don't have the P/N for it handy, but you can order it from http://www.worldimpex.com
as well as http://www.1stvwparts.com
You might want to check the price from the dealer as well. I think I priced them out to be around 35 dollars?
Trans swap is DONE! Today i wired up the reverse lights. I had a little bit of trouble finding the yellow/white pair, so i just spliced in at the TCM connector. I ran two wires up to the 150 relay for the switch, and tied them into the two yellow backup light wires- works perfectly! ...now for some driving...
MK2 axles are 1/2" shorter than MK3 axles so they wont work, and the MK2 shift box is slightly different than the MK3 shift box. You cannot use your auto axles either they have a different flange on the ends.
im about to pick up my donor car and was wondering about the vss i know there is one on the auto tranny but waht about the manual? how can you tell how fast you are going without it?and the auto cluster will work with the manual tranny like the tachometer and speedo?
Idk about about 2.0l engines and their trannys, but when i did my swap (vr6), i kept my auto cluster and everything works just fine, and both vr auto and manual trannys share the same VSS, not sure about 2.0 though
I wish I could say the swap in my 96 Cabrio was going easy.
I can't get the clutch cable hooked up and when I try to start it I am only getting a "click".
Double check all of the fuse box wires... when I was in there messing with all of the clutch things, I accidentally loosened one of the thick red ignition wires, and that caused it to not turn over... Could be the source of your problem...

just wondering if there was an easier way to line them up...
Another idea...
...Use a widowmaker to shift the engine into the proper position... just not too far, though or you'll crack a motor mount
I checked all the connections at the fuse box and they look fine. I had a mechanic take a look at it and he said the engine and flywheel turn fine by hand, and the starter is contacting the flywheel.
Am I missing something simple?
Set the emergency brake. Put the vehicle in neutral. Turn the ignition to the ON position. Then short the large and small post on the starter. Make sure to keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts. If the starter is good, the engine will turn and hopefully start. Then you can work backwards from there.
I checked for codes and I am only getting a couple of Airbag Codes.
00588 - Airbag Igniter; Driver Side (N95)
32-10 - Resistance too High - Intermittent
00532 - Supply Voltage B+
07-10 - Signal too Low - Intermittent
By connect the two terminals of the starter, do you mean run a wire from the power plug to the ground?
I did find one big red wire under the dash that is not plugged in. It says AMP 1-929603 -1 on one side and has a 1 in a box and 191972751 on the other side. It this suppose to be plugged in someplace?
im still having issues with my speedo and reverse lights. ive read this thread and search multiple threads for this answer and everyone says it just plugs right in...i do not have a three prong connector to connect to the mk3 speed sensor that i put in this trans. the sensor is a three prong, but the connector that i have is a two prong? can anyone please go into detail on this subject? i feel it was never really covered to well.
thank you for any input/advice in advance!!
mk3 cables are shorter then passat ones I found that out first hand
