81 vw caddy 020 rebuild (pics only)

One of my good friends owns a 81 vw rabbit pickup (caddy).  She's been working on it for a couple years now chipping away at one thing at a time.  She asked me to rebuild a manual transmission.  Its a 020 2h (close ratio) out of a 83 rabbit gti. 

Enjoy the pics


5th housing removed


case split
 

emptied the bottom half of the case


got the case cleaned and power coated


ARP bolt kit for the ring gear, got rid of those crappy rivits


ring and nuts are on


torqued




added a new spider gear shim, and put the spider gears and bearings in


Checking the rolling torque of the differential.  Everything was in spec, no new shims needed


new input and output shaft bearings/races
 


Checking rolling torque of output shaft


Starting assembly with new syncros


Added input shaft and other gears


Put the other half of the case on, 5th gear is assembled


80% slip kit, essentially its a poor man's/woman's limited slip differential.  It works well for how simple it is.


completed and dressed
