D2 Manual, TD5 vs V8 gearbox differances

[joel0407]

Hey guys,


Just a quick one.


Are there any differences in a manual gearbox between the TD5 and the V8?


Ratios or the like.


I have recently moved to Perth (Last week) and I am keen to pick up a cheap (dirt cheap) D2 in manual and do a conversion on my TD5 Auto.


Happy Days.

AFAIK it's only 5th gear ratio that is different. Higher on the V8 box.

Welcome to Perth :)

Tdi r380 has longer input shaft but unsure ifs thats true for the td5 r380 also.

Just looked on Microcat, bell housing and input shaft are also different part numbers.
