Wavetrac Differential Install Kit - VW Golf / Jetta (Mk3 VR6/Mk4) / Corrado / New Beetle - 02A / Early 02J 5-Speed Manual
Installing a Wavetrac differential shouldn't mean hunting down individual components from multiple suppliers. Autotech has put together everything you need in one kit, pairing ARP's renowned fastener hardware with genuine Volkswagen OEM components to make the job straightforward and reliable. It's a practical, cost-effective solution for anyone fitting a Wavetrac diff into a Volkswagen 5-speed gearbox.
Note: Suits the 02A (Golf/Jetta Mk3 VR6, Corrado VR6 and G60, Passat B3/B4 VR6) and early 02J (Golf, Jetta/Bora and New Beetle Mk4 to 2004). This kit does not suit late 02J (02J-B) gearboxes. If you have a late 02J application, you will need install kit # 10.398.002K instead.
This listing covers the install kit for the Volkswagen 02A and early 02J 5-speed manual gearbox platforms.
