If you're planning to run ~250-300bhp I would not even think about an old 020 gearbox

In my case that's an AGU 20vT engine with 02J 5 speed manual gearbox. In this particular topic I'll assume we're talking about 4 cylinder engine and any 02J gearbox it came with. Other major circumstance is that 02A and 02J gearboxes when changing gears are operated using cable shifter. It happens because cars natively running ABF, AAA, ABV, AGU, AWW, AWP, AUE, BAM, APX you name it, came with gearboxes type of 02A, 02J where clutch is pressed using hydraulic cylinder instead of cable connected to clutch pedal like in Golf mk2 or Golf mk1. This question arises to all Golf mk2, in some cases Golf mk3 or Passat owners when doing conversions. SQS shifters are equipped on the tower with a Shift Cut Switch to give this signal to the ECU (see gallery)Ī more sophisticated solution is use a Strain Gauge, or we can supply an SQS Shift Cut Knob (SCK) for £210 + VAT.It's been many times I was asked "What should I do regarding gearbox when swapped my car with more powerful and newer engine?". This is generally possible with all dog boxes (when releasing the throttle by shifting) with SEQUENTIAL shifting because it is easy get a signal for ignition cut
