They have just been fitted naked without any of the spring set up or the brass collar/bearing. they looked like this:Īt first I thought they might be flanges I'm not familiar with eg 108mm ones but they are definitely 100mm at the flange, and have the 8mm bolts. I removed the loose flange and was surprised to see that it didnt have the brass collar that seats into the bearing or the spring fitted over the shaft. So I dropped a driveshaft off and found that the centre retaining bolt was in and tight BUT the flange could move in and out and also had a lot of lateral play. These are the flanges used on my two spare boxes:ĭoubtful that both of the springs could break I thought maybe they'd been installed without the centre bolt to hold them in against the diff. That didnt look right to me so I checked my two spare boxes and their flanges had zero. So when I was under the car the other day I noticed that both driveshaft flanges in the box in the car had about 5-7mm in/out play. All these boxes have 100mm driveshaft flanges as they all use 8mm driveshaft flange bolts rather than the 10mm bolts used on the 108mm flanges. One has an 02J wavetrac built into it, the second an 02J Kaaz and the third which is in my new car has an SQS 1 way in it.

The Polo 5 speed is an 02R but shares a lot of 02J parts in the box.

The 02M/02Q transmission began being fitted to 6-speed manual variants of the Mk4 Golf, and has since appeared in each subsequent generation of VW’s family favourite ever since, including the current Mk7. It also retains the OEM clutch, differential, driveshafts and mounts, making the whole process of installing the Quaife gearkit a fuss-free procedure for those mechanically in the know. TSR Performance are also able to undertake such work, recommended if possible due to the company’s familiarity with the product.
