gearbox

i've managed to get an 02A gearbox for a good price, and want to fit it to the ibiza, as the current rod change 020 box is a nightmare, it hates selecting first and has never lined up properly, cable changes are much easier :) i've got the gearbox, what else do i need? a list would be nice...

Hi All, I am new on here and have just recently purchased my first 2001 Seat Ibiza Cupra R, please can any of you help me and advise what gearbox these came with as standard, 5 speed or 6 speed :help::help:Thanks all in advance

Hi Guys... I have a feeling i might have a problem on its way with my gear box.... But my first question is... how do i know if it needs oil? do I get a warning light? Also, on the 2.0PD 140, if any other owners look down into their engine bay at the gear box, can they see a hole in the...

Is the drain plug tool an M16 tamper proof spline socket? found one one ebay just want to see if its the correct one. Its basically a 16mm spline socket with a hole drilled in the top of it. Is this right???

hi, when my 07 ibiza fr tdi is cold 2nd and 3rd gears seem a bit notchy to select unless used very gently, but when it has warmed up it is fine and smooth! any cause for concern on the cold notchy gears?

Hi all, I was driving along today and was wondering what the life expectancy for a Modified MK1 Cupra would be? Really just for the main items like engine, clutch, gearbox, turbo etc. Currently running at 96000 miles with a Revo stage 2 remap, 4 bar fpr, APR 3" exhaust, stratmosphere DV...

Hi. My apologies for a first post being a begging letter! My daughter has a late '96 Cordoba 1.4. She took it for an MOT on Friday - which it passed. Got nearly home and the gearbox stared making a loud noise (sounded dry). It's mainly on the overrun. Rang a mate of mine who put some...

Hi, I own a 52 plate Leon 1.8 20v (non-turbo) and a hole about the size of a 10 pence piece has just been made in my gearbox. On firday I noticed a clicking sound from the front left when slowing down. The frequency of the sound was relative to the speed I was travelling. I'd had two...

Not too sure myself on this one. when its cold. very cold and car left for ages, say overnight. when i first start it. put it into first and off we go, no problems there. when i change to second sometimes can feel a slight resistance or notch.. same in third. but not all the time. and its...

Hi all:( Found a trail of oil leading to my drive way the other night... gearbox oil. Then I read Phil_m's thread about his gearbox and I bet I have the same bloody problem!! Oil near where the engine/gearbox mates.. Guessin every1 thinks its the stupid pelquin bolts? Well I...

Hi, My 52 reg 1.9 TDi needed a new gearbox after 80,000 miles. Now I find that when I engage reverse gear that the reversing lights do not come on nor the parking sensor (though it does if I use the switch). Is this a simple fix? Fuses and bulbs seem okay. Mechanic told me that he has seen...

Hi ALL, I have found some thread talks about pretty much the same issue, but I would like to hear whether its a common failure and there is still something that could be done in order to avoid it in the future. I lost my 1st, 2nd and R gear yesterday (after 3500 miles), means I can not...

Hi all. 6 speed gearbox on a LCR 1.8T20V. Basically i am very confused.. does this gearbox use hypoid gears? what spec does it require gl4 or gl5? fully synthetic or semi syn? 75w90 i think is correct. What gearbox oil is recommended and what have you used?

I've had this for a good few months now. When going from second to 3rd at high revs something crunches up near the base of the gearstick and its a bit reluctant to slot into 3rd. Its fine for normal driving and giving death in any other gear is fine. Any ideas what it is?! Cheers! :)

I am thinking of buying a Seat Ibiza 1.8 20VT FR/ Cupra to replace my current Corsa 1.8 SRI. The main gripe I have about my existing car, is that apart from the shoddy handling, it desperately needs a 6th gear on the motorway for better fuel consumption, less engine wear and a quieter ride...

Hi i need a gear box for my 99 mk2 ibiza 1.4's :( but im struggling to find one :cry: i was wondering if anyone knows of a breakers or salvage yard that mite have one???? any help much appreciated :thumbup: thanks Chris

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I've been having increasing problems with getting stuck in reverse! I'm having to put more and more prerssure on the gear stick to get out of reverse - weird thing is its completely intermitant! Sometimes the...

Hiya, I took my car in for its 20k service on friday and learned that there has been a recall on the gear boxes for FRs (I think its just this model). They didnt say much just something wrong with the fluids and it was causing gears to crunch. Free fluid change under the warranty and all...
