would i be right in thinking i could fit a gti gearbox in my 1.8gl mk3 golf?

mainly wondering weather driveshafts need changing?

Whats wrong with the box you've got have you upped the power of your engine or has it given up the ghost.

I know guy's who have VR6's and use the O2A box out of the mk3 tdi motor , the gears may be tall but not for some who have a supercharger or turbo conversion .

And for more bomb proofing and performance you can add a quaife limited slip diff and lightened flywheel and to top it all off a motorsport cable changer which gets rid of all the crapy linkages and slack.

well its got moon miles on it and making some funny noise's so while im at it i thought why not?
im on a tight budget for the time being and have been offered a gti to break for 60 quid! come to think of it how much more work would it be to change a 1.8gl to a 2litre 8valve?

Lots but doable if you have every thing engine gearbox loom cluster etc.......ur and a bit of spare time.
