    O2J / O2R (and others?) gearbox shims

    Hi - I'm looking for anyone who has gearbox shims they'd sell, or maybe knows a workshop that does that may be able to sell me some.

    I'm installing a wavetrac in my Polo's O2R, I already had a bearing kit I bought from someone on here so I thought I'd change the bearings while I had the gearbox apart. I didn't realise how painful it would be... definitely wishing I'd left the bearings alone.

    I've been to VW and they've gotta order them from Germany at $17 each so if the measurement I've taken is wrong then trial and error will take a year and become obscenely expensive.

    The car is my daily driver, luckily my wife is a teacher so isn't using hers much (Vic. lockdown) and I can wing it a bit but not for too long

    Thanks very much

    Simon, trust the measurement process. Work out the shim size and check with Audi as well as VW. Different warehouses. So might have what you need in Sydney.

    Just found this place online Gearbox & Diff Shims
