DSG to 6 speed Manual

Post by Luke2005 »

Hope this is the right place to ask.
I have a 2009 caddy life 1.9 DSG which has developed gearbox issues and I’m thinking of swapping it to a 6 speed manual.
Just wondering what needs to be done and how to determine which parts to obtain and how big is the job.
Is it worth it ?
Regards

Hi there,

You’re looking for quite the job.
Apart from changing the gearbox obviously, you’ll need to change at least the following items:
  • Pedal box (from two to three pedals)
  • Gearshiftstick (or whatever that’s called)
  • Sensors for the clutch pedal need to be installed
  • Clutch cilinder behind the clutch pedal needs to be installed
  • Oil line need to be installed from clutch cilinder to master cylinder
  • Master cylinder needs to be changed for one from a manual car
  • Wiring
  • Coding of your ECU, ABS, Instrument cluster and maybe other modules need to be changed.
I might have forgotten other things as well that need to be changed
