Satan’s Minion: Golf TDI Transaxle and Lightweight Flywheel

Had this little gem come into the shop last week for a new tranny and a lightweight flywheel conversion. She has lived a hard life, and so getting things apart was a bit of a chore, in fact almost everything fought me from the lug bolts to the transaxle bolts, but we got it done.

New tranny ready to go in.

Cracked engine mount: Ouch.

Old disgusting transaxle out and ready for the new clutch and flywheel

Ooooh boy. Going back together I ran into a few snags with the customer supplied parts. Not a big deal, I just need to order a correct CV boot for the DS axle, and we should be good to go.
