RCP 02M Gearbox Reinforced Brace (Aluminium End Casing)
Fits ALL VW / Audi / Seat and Skoda 6 Speed Manual 02M Gearboxes With Aluminium End Casing ONLY One weakness of the 02M Gearboxes is the cast transmission casing. This can become a major problem especially on vehicles with high torque figures. The problem is caused by high amounts of vibration being transferred through the gears. These vibrations can eventually lead to cracks in the casing and in worst cases, can break away completely leaving a gaping hole in the end of the casing. Usually this destroys all the internals rendering the whole gearbox scrap. This Reinforced Plate has been specifically designed to prevent this from happening After experiencing this problem first hand with a few of our high powered diesels (including the MK5 Race Car) we highly recommend this modification for vehicles running 400ft/lbs+ (for petrol and diesel applications)Also see our listings for 02M / 02Q Gearbox 4th Gear Input Shaft Support
