Is it possible to use a mk6 6spd trans? I would like to make any upgrades possible when doing this rebuildI used NLS in my STR prepped NC3. With 160 wtq, predictably I had no issues.
I decided to skip it on the GTI when getting the EQT tune. Glad I did.
Like someone said earlier, if you've got to replace the trans, now is the time for a real LSD. When you get lemons, make lemonade.
I'm the wrong guy to ask that question, I just got back into the GTI game. I had mk1, mk2, mk3, Corrado VR6, a gap until 2018.Is it possible to use a mk6 6spd trans? I would like to make any upgrades possible when doing this rebuild

Outside of the cruise control concern theory and the potential for the mdi to display incorrectly at the top and bottom of gearing windows and or affects if someone had a boost by gear tune.If anything, you’d be able to do a 7R 6MT which has similar gearing to a MK6 GTI. You’d need to scan the long coding of your transmission module and compare to another person’s to verify you have the same byte available as the Golf R 6MT byte. It’s not just as simple as bolting it up because it’s a manual.

Why else would they not work? Physically they are both 02Qs and I can confirm first hand that the Transmission module doesn’t connect or read anything from the internals of the trans.
I found a THV trans from a 2018 GTI with 36k on it for $1400 shipped. Would be a direct swap in. I will post pictures of the damage once I can get my car to the shop
If I got a Wavetrack or Pelequin LSD, would any tuning have to be done since the car thinks it has the Borg Warner eLSD? I definitely want to make any improvements I can while everything is apart.Like others said above, definitely get a wavetrack while you’re at it if you can swing it!!!

Let us know how things go after installing it.Update**
I found someone selling a 6spd trans with the eLSD box with 38k on it. His trans code is QUJ, mine is THV. I assume since both transmissions are performance pack, should bolt right up with no issues? Thanks for all the insight/help everyone chimed in
