Re: Convert VR6 from Auto to manual

the corrado dash cluster is a direct fit in a B4, you may need the corrado's sub-loom from cluster to fusebox BUT it will probably work with the B4's one :-bd as to gearboxes, any vR6 or V5 5Speed gearbox should fit the B4 (basicly same as a mk2 golf conversion) as to driveshafts, if the auto ones d...

Re: Mysterious connectors

Hi all, I found these two connectors, not connected to anything, under the gear lever gaiter of my B3. The wires on the larger one go forward, and backwards from the smaller one. Anyone know what they're for? I assume it's something to do with an auto box, but not sure. Cheers http://i63.tinypic.co...
