If you are doing this swap and keeping it as factory as possible this beauty lets you screw into the factory O2A speedo gear and into your MK1 cluster with no changes made. Speedo cable to go from the O2A to the factory mk1 cluster. I believe they are working for an under dash setup for those wanting to put a hydraulic clutch in their MK1 and not cut up the firewall to do so. My VR6 rabbit has one on it and it has been nice. I really like the feel of a cable clutch O2A. I like this because it keeps the truck as stock as possible and is pretty cool.Ĭable clutch conversion for the O2a. You can keep it cable shift and modify the MK3 shift box to mount inside the MK1. While this part is not necessary to make the swap work. The ting I like about this mount is it has a nice beveled edge inside of it making bearing installation easier. You can use a stock gasser passenger side mount. They Also offer mounts for an O2m 6 speed if you are going that route. If you are doing an O2J swap the mount may be slightly different. Transmission Top Mount and Rear Transmission mount for O2A Transmissions. Here are the individual parts that make up the kit: In this video I cover the parts included in the kit, as well as some additional bits I didn’t have in the original video like the TT downpipe and the wiring harness and DBW pedal bracket. Lets take a look at what all you can get from S&P to make a Mk1 TDI swap as easy as possible. I would guess that the person with average mechanical skills could do the whole swap over a weekend or a 3 day weekend easy enough and have time for any troubleshooting that may be needed. So overall it has been a pretty fast and easy swap. And then I have another 3 or so hours on the cable clutch and rod shift stuff making all of that work right. This included doing all of the video work too, which takes a lot longer than you would think to do. To give you a time frame about how long the swap has taken so far (I’m currently working on it when I have the time) we got the old motor pulled out, mounts put on and everything changed and the motor thrown back in in about 10 hours. Well like all projects this one took longer to get to than it should have and thanks to another friend with a VW shop who had some down time, we got a good bit of it knocked out in one day. A good source for this is your former coil power wire on gasoline cars, on diesels the injection pump power wire works well.By VWDiesel 1 AHU TDI Caddy Swap Using the S&P Automotive Swap KitĪbout a year ago I did a review on the MK1 TDI swap kit offered by S&P Automotive on here in plans on starting a TDI swap on a caddy I had recently purchased. If you’re using one of our harnesses the “Trigger” needs to have power in both the key positions START and RUN – this is often the problem for a no start, someone didn’t check that the wire they chose had power during the crank key cycle.Work the exhaust system from front to back, hang everything loose in the clamps and work each section into final placement front to back as well.If you are using the mk1 fuel lines, the best place to cut them I have found is just before the cross behind the steering knuckle, you can carefully hand bend them up toward the passenger strut tower and trim again to your desired length.Always start all the bolts in a bracket, manifold,cover etc before tightening any of them down.
