I’m basing the required parts list from the JHM full rebuild kit https://jhmotorsports.com/shop/catalog/transmission-rebuild-kit-0a3-mt-oem-full-collar-update-2nd-gear-for-b7-rs4-p-1507.html?cPath=21_56_310_311
Before anyone says “just buy that one” - the current exchange rate makes it way too expensive before I even add intercontinental shipping and import duties + 21% VAT at my end. Paying twice as much for the same OEM parts I can order in Germany seems like a bad idea. JHM’s price for actually rebuilding a box you send in is great, unfortunately it’s logistically impossible for me.
The numbers for the big parts are easy enough to find in ETKA but I’m having some issues filling in the numbers for seals and clips and such…
- OEM 3-piece Synchronizer rings 0A2311283B x2 & 0A2311283A x4
- OEM, UPDATED 1-2 Shift Collar or Synchro Hub 0A2311243B
- OEM, UPDATED 2nd Gear 0A2311261C
- OEM Input Shaft Seal ?
- OEM Input Shaft Seal C-Clip ?
- OEM Input Round Seal or O-Ring ?
- OEM Selector Shaft Seal ?
- OEM Front Output Shaft Seals (2) ?
- OEM Rear Differential O-Ring Seal ?
- OEM Selector Shaft O-Ring Seal ?
- OEM Selector Shaft Detents 0A2301242 x2
- OEM Rear Output Shaft Seal ?
All synchros with a new second gear and shift collar are ~1150$ in parts so far with 19% VAT included. Just need to add the seals and rings…
I need to order parts BEFORE my gearbox gets opened. I don’t have time to wait and see what needs to be replaced. I have no crunching from first to second gear, but 3rd gear is terrible. I guess it would be prudent to include a new 3rd gear and 3rd gear collar? Question is should I order the second gear itself…the most expensive part in the list, or just a new collar? It’s probably not in new condition but it’s not bothering me thus far. Thoughts?
