What gearbox does this gear fit?

This 5th speed gear is for the VW 085 manual gearbox, used across the Polo, Golf, and Caddy range. The 085 is a longitudinally-mounted 4/5-speed manual unit found in smaller VAG vehicles.

How do I know if my 5th gear needs replacing?

Symptoms of worn 5th gear include popping out of 5th when under load, grinding noise in 5th gear, or difficulty engaging 5th. A gearbox rebuild inspection will reveal the extent of wear on the gear teeth and synchro hubs.

Can I install this gear myself?

Replacing internal gearbox gears requires a full gearbox stripdown. This is a specialist job and we recommend using a qualified gearbox technician to ensure correct assembly and shimming.

Is this an OE or aftermarket part?

This is an aftermarket replacement gear manufactured to fit the OE 085311361 specification.

What other gearbox parts should I replace at the same time?

When replacing a worn gear, it is good practice to also inspect and replace the matching synchro ring, selector fork, and bearings. Contact us for a complete 085 gearbox rebuild kit.
