Hi all wondering has anyone tried putting a shim on there o2m box?
browsing different sites the other night and found some useful information out on clutch creep.and whining noises from the o2m boxes.
There's obviously shims which get put in by gearbox specialists but this little mod is dead simple.
Cost me £10 for parts from vw
Takes about 15min's to do.
Mines an FZQ box on a 2004 plate
It only applies to later boxes which have a black round cover on the end.
Remove cover and behind u will c the end of the input shaft with a bearing surrounding it.
Theres a snap clip which needs to removed then put shim around, pull shaft towards you and reinsert snap clip. Easy job and seen as a must have to all o2m boxes.
Going to do mine tomorrow and will post up the outcome.
Wish me luck.
£10 fix compared to a £300 gearbox what a result.
