#DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MK4 2.0 O2J MANUAL#

Like in any other situation there're pros&cons. I mean you may fit it inside, on the tunnel, not in the tunnel where it belongs. Personally for me, a great installation is a thing to consider about. Gear selector in case of 02J is made of aluminum and it looks way better.Internals like close ratio Syncro final drive still could by easily used.There're no problems to source LSD like for any other VW gearbox.Because of that, these sometimes even come at silly prices Nowadays there are diffuculties to source 020 gearbox in acceptable condition.Newer gearboxes are sealed better, my bet is All the 02J gearboxes I've seen are clean and not greasy like 020.Fitting gearboxes mentioned above won't require any of mounting re-fabrication.02J gearbox cable operated gear selector works 100x times more precisely comparing to 020 linkage operated mechanism.If you're planning to run ~250-300bhp I would not even think about an old 020 gearbox 02A or especially 02J gearboxes can handle significantly higher power output.Changes and upgrades ahead are not so tiny I must admit, but trust me, it's worth the effort. Why would I convert to 02A or 02J ? You may combine 20v engine with an old 020 gearbox surely, but I would not recommend doing it. Since major differences are known, probably next question which comes to the head is.

In my case that's an AGU 20vT engine with 02J 5 speed manual gearbox.

In this particular topic I'll assume we're talking about 4 cylinder engine and any 02J gearbox it came with. Other major circumstance is that 02A and 02J gearboxes when changing gears are operated using cable shifter. It happens because cars natively running ABF, AAA, ABV, AGU, AWW, AWP, AUE, BAM, APX you name it, came with gearboxes type of 02A, 02J where clutch is pressed using hydraulic cylinder instead of cable connected to clutch pedal like in Golf mk2 or Golf mk1. This question arises to all Golf mk2, in some cases Golf mk3 or Passat owners when doing conversions. It's been many times I was asked 'What should I do regarding gearbox when swapped my car with more powerful and newer engine?'.
