Product Description
The TOPRAN Gasket Set, manual transmission (111 408) is an original-equipment-quality gearbox sealing restoration kit manufactured by TOPRAN. Positioned across the primary mating lines and external shafts of the gearbox casing, its function is to completely seal the manual transmission housing. This kit seals critical fluid paths to prevent high-viscosity gear oil leaks, maintaining proper lubrication across internal gear clusters, syncros, and bearings. Over time, heat and gear shear cause factory seals to harden and weep; this kit provides a comprehensive collection of gaskets and radial shaft oil seals required to properly reseal the transmission housing during a clutch swap, transmission rebuild, or leak overhaul.

⚠️ Transmission Coding Fitting Warning: This seal and gasket kit is engineered strictly to fit the legendary VAG 020 type rod-shifted manual transmission family. It will NOT fit modern hydraulic or cable-operated transmission layouts (such as the 02A, 02J, or 02M gearbox families found on Golf VR6, Corrado, Passat, or Golf MK4 platforms), which feature completely different differential flange and casing dimensions. Always confirm your transmission casing code (stamped on the flat bottom flange near the bellhousing) before starting installation.
