Mystery Transmission
I have a 90 TSI AWD. When I got the car, it had a 91-94 transmission with it. Supposidly, it was recently rebuilt and appeared to be. Ended up finding out that one of the shift forks was broken. I replaced them with EVO forks and all was well. I then found out that there is a problem with 3rd gear. Synchro's is what I figure. Could still shift fine, just can't shift quickly and sometimes downshifting was a problem. Anyway... My clutch died the other day, so, I am replacing it. It should be here tomorrow. I figure, while I have the tranny out, I would check out my 3rd gear. It does appear that the teeth on the synchro are a little worn. I figure I can replace them, no problem. I have the sevice manual and tools to do it. The problem is that I have no idea what synchro to order. According to caps, there are 3 possible numbers it could be for the year '91 to '94. I cannot for the life of me find the answer. I sent an email to TRE and Shep asking if they know how I can identify this transmission too. There is know VIN number on it. The sticker is completely worn. What I need to know, is if the newest synchro will work in my transmission. I can't afford to send it in right now. Just got back from an expensive trip. I don't want to have to put it back it with the bad synchro, just to pull it again when I can get it fixed. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Michael
