Mk7 gearbox question

[RECKLESS ROAD]

Just a quick question , is the gearbox the same on a mk7 6 speed 2.4 rwd up to 2011 as the mk7 6 speed 2.2 rwd 2011 onwards ?

I have a 2008 2.4 camper and I need to change the gearbox , I've seen one for sale but it's from a 2012 rwd which was the 2.2 engine , will it fit ?

As far as I know buddy the 6-speed RWD box is the same regardless of it being a 2.4 or 2.2...the first reply to your question say's different....you'd be better waiting for additional input that may prevent you from buying something you don't want & chiming back in to call me a "Prat" just like that tosser with a Sprinter has.

ive got a 6 speed rwd box now for 2.4 with the cables and gear lever and ive got the prop shaft too , do I need to change the clutch and flywheel ? and is there anything else I need ? , changing from a 5 speed to a 6 speed

I "think" the prop shaft is a slightly different length between the 5 & 6 speed boxes, also the rear box coupling...worth checking at least..!

Was the prop shaft off a Mk6 or Mk7 6 speed..? Was if off the same size van, SWB, MWB, LWB or Jumbo..?? I think they're possibly all different lengths, two or three piece.... with one or two center bearings.

Does it bolt straight onto the 5 speed box coupling..??

the prop was off a mk7 lwb which is the same van as my camper and its fits the new 6 speed coupling but not the 5 speed, that all fits ok I just need to know do I need to change the clutch and flywheel to a 6 speed gearbox one or is it the same as a 5 speed clutch and flywheel

Excellent work.

I think the clutches may be different has a DMF as well, the 5 speed has an external slave and a clutch arm, the Mk7 6 speed has an internal CSC, better check the gearbox splines as well just to make sure they're compatible...

I haven't read all this post but i fitted a rwd 2.2 box to my rwd 2.4 2007 140ps all the same and no different, that's the 6 speed both and a new clutch kit 2007 luk fitted
5 speed are for pus*ies

2.2 rwd and 2.4 rwd ARE different . Longer bolts maybe bolt hole pattern .

I fitted 1 to my mk7 Bambi so either it fits or i may have caused someone's death at a time to be confirmed
