- A step-by-step guide of the DSG to Manual swap of an 8P A3 2.0T quattro, which was never sold in North America as a manual. The basics of this swap can also be applied to other PQ35/PQ36 VW/Audi Chassis vehicles, including the 8J TT/TT-S and 8P A3 3.2/MK5 Golf R32 (substituting VR6 parts as necessary)
What an absolute gem of a video, im in the process of swapping an engine and 6speed into a car that had a dsg in it. I will for sure use this as a reference and it looks like you answer questions quickly. Thanks so much for the tutorial!
Guy let's do it. I'm also swapping my DQ200 DSG to a 6speed manual gearbox. Doing my homework on sourcing the needed parts.
Just wanted to drop an update, my 2012 Jetta Sportwagen TDI is on the road thanks to this video. Everything works. Cruise control, reverse lights and clutch interlock. It was a job and learned a lot on the way but it's definitely do-able.
Nice! Glad it helped you out!
did you have to reflash the ecu?
@@leonkurtish9242 In my case, I only had to recode it with VCDS. Not all ECUs are able to be recoded this way, however.
@@carsonthepartsguy8751 did you have issues with rev hang at all? And is there anyway i could double check if my car is compatible (coding wise) for a manual swap before i order the parts?
@@leonkurtish9242 No rev hang issues with my swap. As for checking if it can be recoded, just go into it with VCDS and see if it’ll let you.
Perfectionist best work and video in detail
Appreciate sir
Great video Carson, you've whipped up my interest to swap my DQ200 DSG to a 6speed manual gearbox. Thank you for the education and encouragement.
Man, I'm so glad I stumbled across this.. My wife is dying for me to convert her B8.5 A4 2.0T FWD from CVT to 6MT..
Boy, do I have questions for you! LOL (as well as Q7 questions 😉 )
And the QJ7000LT is probably the best 'tool' I've bought in a loooong time!
cant wait to starting my swap! appreciate for sharing all the info!
Hope the info helps in your endeavor!
@@carsonthepartsguy8751how does the wiring work for swapping from manual to dsg
I’m scoping out doing a manual swap on my Tiguan when I rebuild the engine. Thank you for making this video
Brilliant work
He is the best @ what he does!
Thanks for this video. I have a Manual Golf mk6 GTD that i'm planning on using as a donor to do this to a DSG mk6 GTD. The reason reason for not buying another manual or just driving this one is that it has 340k Km (210k miles) on it is getting tired, leaking oil and doesn't have the options i want. I want one with a sunroof as I had in my mk6 1.4tsi twincharged version. But i can't find any original 2.0 tdi 170hp versions with a manual and a sunroof in 4/5door. always a 3 door or a dsg with the sunroof.
Now i'm looking into buying a dsg mk6 and doing this swap. As i am not a bodywork type of carguy, a gearbox swap would be easier than swapping roofs on a non sunroof one.
Thx for this video man! I am planning to manual swap my 3.2 A3 when my DQ250 finally stops working (its clunky and noisy since 1 year now, so i hope it breaks soon).
You the realist. Ill be doing a video on my mk6 gti . Sourced all the parts including the trans (excluding stg2 clutch) for 300 pulled from a 13 gti out of a junkyard
Excellent. 👍🏻
Wow!great!i want to!an audi s5 swap trans from cope/cabrio!i need help!advise...

Thanks brooo❤
My dsg in my cc is shitting out so this will be my next project lol
Hola buen día, qué pasa si no se quita el tope de retroceso del acelerador?
Thank you so much for sharing this precious material, and congrats on the excellent job. I'd like to know if you have wired the mirror tilt down when in reverse. I lost this function when I swapped my VW Golf 5 DSG to manual. Thanks in advance!
That should be handled by J519, and if you have wired in the reverse light switch to J519 so that your reverse lights come on, that should also trigger anything else tied into the vehicle being put in reverse gear.
The car I swapped in the video had rear parking aid - and it worked immediately after the swap. I would suggest investigating your coding.
@@derciobadru4091 Its listed in my wiring diagram, but you'll have to refer to the one for your Golf. My reverse light switch is connected for power at the engine compartment fuse panel, runs to the reverse light switch, then from the reverse light switch it goes to J519. The car is already wired for the rest of it.
In my case, the reverse light switch it´s not connected to J519. The reverse light switch wires are connected two wires from the old automatic gearbox connector. I have rear light, but I don't have functions like mirror tilt down when reverse. I need to find a good mechanic and electrician like you, near me. Once again, congratulations on the excellent work.
@@derciobadru4091 Yeah, you would have to refer to your car’s specific wiring diagram to see how that’s handled. Good luck with it!
Great information in this video, thanks for all the detail Carson! I tried to look to see if anyone else asked but how did you acquire the NFQ euro-spec transmission? And do you by chance know the p/n for that as well as a bell housing for a 3.2L VR6? I have an MKV R32 that I am wanting to manual swap here in the states.
I got the gearbox from Cascade German. You would want to use the bell housing from an 8J TT 3.2 if you want to use the NFQ gear ratios. Otherwise, just get yourself an entire gearbox from the 8J TT 3.2 as it directly swaps into the MK5 R32.
@@carsonthepartsguy8751 I was already thinking about the 8J TT to pull parts from. I might just try to find an entire donor car since I am considering doing this because I blew up my R32 engine.
Same sort of thing doing this to mk5 gt tdi? Dsg has shat itself and don't fancy finding another 81k mile mk5 golf with no rust whatsoever.
Basically, yeah. You'll have to check the wiring diagram for the TDI harness and how that utilizes the clutch position switch, but the rest of it should be quite similar. You'll obviously need the TDI specific flywheel, clutch, pressure plate and gearbox, but the rest of it could be had from a gas car.
Did a haldex swap on my manual fwd 8p. Then wrecked the car. Might pick up a newer model and just swap the trans over
Hi mate any chance you would know the coding requirements for dsg to manual mk6 gti we have completed the whole swap it is just the coding left to go any tips with the vcds and or codes to change and or that need to replace the DSG Transmission codes
Awesome Video Carson , thank you ! i just swapped a 02Q in my Jetta race car . i was sick of loosing races due to overheated DSG.
The last thing to do is to wire up the clutch. i tried a few times using the purple/black wire from the DSG connector with no luck. i will attempt how you did yours.
thanks in advance
Make sure you check the wiring diagrams for the Jetta first, the destinations will likely be the same but the wiring may be different. Good Luck!
Thanks for response Carson. I’m gonna be honest, I can built engines but when it comes to wiring, I’m clueless. I have no idea where to begin. So I need to find the pin out diagram from the Jetta and see with pin is the clutch position sensor?
@@TeamAssuncao Correct. You can get the wiring diagrams from ERWIN online, you can buy a subscription for 1-3 days, download the entire manual + wiring diagrams and keep them for future reference. Then just compare your factory DSG diagram vs. a manual diagram and route the wires where they need to go.
@@carsonthepartsguy8751 Carson I got it 👍🏻 thank you sir. One last question, I didn’t change the brake pedal. I just cut down the pedal. So do I still have to wire PIN number 5 in the g476?
@@TeamAssuncao The wiring has to be done whether you replace the pedal or not. The physical brake pedal isn’t wired. Depending on production date, the brake switch is either inside the car riding on the pedal, or is in the engine compartment on the master cylinder.
Hey Carson loved the Video! Would it be possible to go from a 07 FWD 6MT A3 to Quattro 6MT? Does the prefacelift motor bolt up to the 02Q or the MQ350 trans?
Short answer: yes, it’s possible.
Long answer: it involves cutting and welding to modify/replace the rear floor pan, welding in center driveshaft support bearing mounts into the tunnel, replacing the rear subframe with a quattro subframe and diff/axles, replacing the gas tank with a quattro version, and wiring in the Haldex unit.
The 02Q gearbox will bolt up to any VW/Audi engine with the 4 cylinder bellhousing pattern when used with an appropriate flywheel, this includes the 07K 5 cylinder engine (with slight grinding to the bellhousing on the transmission to clearance the timing cover)
I have a 2014 VW Jetta Sportswagon MK-6 chassis with a DSG transmission and I live in Chicago. I already did a Malone Tuning Stage 2, CP-3 fuel upgrade, Glow Plug Duration and Dynamic Idle. I have the Raw Tek max performance DPF Delete, completely removed EGR system and assembly, as well as removed intake swirlers. The emissions is a hard 100% deleted with the Kerma TDI airbox delete and KERMA TDI turbo inlet hose. I am looking do do a DSG to 6 speed manual transmission swap on my 2014 VW JSW TDI. Where do i start and who do I go to. Thank you for your help.
Get your parts from a manual TDI, preferably from the same model year, and start swapping pretty much. You'll have to review the wiring diagrams for the TDI, but it will mostly be the same as the swap I've done here. You just need to swap the passenger front axle as they are different between DSG and Manual on the FWD.
Great video, my dsg is dying slowly and want to do a manual swap on My A3 3.2 8p, would i need to get parts from a mk4 R32 or mk5 R32?, or are they interchangeable?.
Thank you
Matt
You’ll want to use parts from an 8J Audi TT 3.2 quattro for your swap. You could technically use parts from a MK4 R32, but you may have to interchange other parts to make it work. The easiest route is to use TT parts though as it’s the same generation of chassis as your 8P 3.2q is.
@@carsonthepartsguy8751 Thank you so much for your quick reply. I will start hunting the parts out.
Thank you again
where can i get a complete manual transmission to buy for a 2014 VW jetta 1.4
Hello Carson, great video, I think that I can follow it to do the swap to my GLI MK5's swap, I think the wire is gonna be the problem, so what will happen if I don't make it?
Bare minimum to drive it would be to ground the wire going to J519 from the trans harness. Should be purple and black like on my car. The starter will engage without the clutch pedal being depressed, however. And you won’t have reverse lights.
thanks to you i did a full conversion if any problem...i have a plan to convert a golf mk5 gti to a 4x4 😈😈

Hello Carson. I have a question for you. I have a 12 vw cc I swap manual transmission. I performed the coding for the ecu and instrument cluster and gateway. Is there coding of the abs module. Thank you so much
I didn't have to recode mine, so I don't believe you'd need to. You can check the coding with VCDS to see if there are any values that represent automatic or manual and change them if needed.
Hi Carson how could I get in touch with you about some questions I have on this manual swap? My crankshaft looks different in the rear, I’m unsure if this is a sleeve that holds the pilot bushing but the Inside diameter is much smaller than the diameter of the manual trans input shaft
What engine do you have? I didn’t have to do anything with the CCTA featured in this video or my previous BPY FWD swap….
@@carsonthepartsguy8751 CBFA but I don’t believe that should affect the crank. Got email I could shoot you more info

Hi, when doing the swap from DSG to manual, what is function or purpose of the clutch position sensor? Regards

Hey Carson, i would like to ask you a question, do you think is there any difference mainly electronic part of rebuild? i have vw golf 5 1.9 tdi (BLS engine code) with DSG 7 trans on it. i would love to replace it for MT. Thanks mate if you find time to reply on my question :)
The same basic procedures would apply, but please keep in mind that we didn’t get a lot of TDI options here in the US and I’m not familiar with all of them. You may be able to recode the ECU or you may have to replace it with a manual ECU. The rest of the electrics you’ll have to follow the factory diagram and match up the rest of the wiring, adding in the reverse light switch and the clutch position switch wiring.
@@carsonthepartsguy8751 thanks :)
can anyone confirm if mk5 r32 ecu is "unlocked" as in will it take the coding like this a3? i have already received my manual swap from overseas just doing my wiring research now. seems like many skip over actually wiring in the clutch switch and just ground that purple/ white wire from the dsg trans plug to start it. would be cool to know if these wiring diagrams and brake light switch are the same for mk5 r32 application
It will not. You'll have to have it flashed with manual software, if I recall correctly. You may also be able to use an immo-defeated ECU from a manual 8J TT 3.2, but not 100% sure.
I have an audi a5 2011 and I think I have a t94 ecm also. But can you explain more in detail of the wiring situation? And explainittle more the coding. Thank you.
For your particular vehicle, I’d have to go into the wiring diagrams and look all of that up. I wish I had the resources to manual swap all of the Audis, but I don’t. Sorry.
Your best bet would be to find one of the swap videos for a B8 chassis Audi. This video is specific to the PQ35/36 chassis, which would be 8P A3, 8J TT, and the MK5/MK6 VW Golf/Jetta and some other transverse models. I don’t own a B8 and don’t currently have any plans of covering a swap on one. Again, sorry I can’t be of help on that one.
Hello! Do you think I can do the same with my Audi TT 2.0 tfsi 2008?
You absolutely can. It’s the same basic chassis.
Do u sell parts? I am planning to convert my MK8 Golf R to manual.
on vcds im having trouble transferring it to manual.
so i went to 01-engine, coding-07, software coding i changed the last digit from 8 to 2 to signify 6 speed manual, but vcds says its out of range. thought?
That is a question for the guys at RossTech. They have pretty good tech support and they’re likely a better ask than I am. Your ECU may not be able to recoded. Best bet is to send them screen shots of your ECU identifier and they’ll tell you if it’s locked or not. You might have to get it reflashed to manual if it is.
Great video. Don't you have the step by step guide for VW mk6 dsg to manual swap.
It’s very similar, some minor differences in required parts and wiring.
Thanks 🙏
@@carsonthepartsguy8751 where is the best place to source a transmission for a mk6 gti?
@@cooperferre4990 Used, you can try a VW/Audi only recycler, a National one such as LKQ, or privately through someone parting out their car, etc.
I got my gearbox from Cascade German brand new.
Hello. I wanted to swap my dq200 to a manual 5 speed MFX transmission. Are the steps about the same or is there anything different? Also are there any compatibility issues? Its on a 2015 polo gt tsi.
Roughly. We don’t get the Polo or the DQ200 here in North America, so I’m not familiar with those. Best bet would be to get the components from a same year parts car that is manual so you can get everything you need to do the swap.
Hi I wanna Swap my manual to dsg my MK7 Golf R its currently stripped out already I wanna put the 7speed Dsg from the 7.5 what do I exactly need to do? And what do I need apart from the gearbox and Im guessing the ECU itself?
The ECU can likely be recoded. You’ll need to wire in the whole DSG harness into the car, and for that you’d have to refer to the wiring diagram for a MK7/7.5 DSG car.
Is it possible to swap the RWD A3 2.0 8p (EA888) with dq250 to the 02Q or 02S?
The swap in this video is of an AWD 8P A3 EA888 with a DQ250 to an MQ350 (02Q) gearbox. You can also swap a FWD with the appropriate gearbox as well. RWD A3s were never offered from the factory anywhere.
Hi I like vw swaps and things haldex 🛠🔥😂
Hey, I just did manual swap with wiring and programming all
Complete in my a3 8P Quattro. But I cant get to start it with key, I have to jump it with the starter. Would you known where to look to solve this issue?
Is your clutch switch grounded through J519 according to the wiring diagram? You can ground the purple/black wire in the DSG harness to get it to start.
Manual swap done on my 2.0 fsi non turbo BMB but my car occasionally revs up between gears. What do I need to do to resolve that
My auto does that so might need coding it still thinks it’s a auto 😂
Do you have a tutorial the other way around, because I would like to go from 02m manual to dsg.
Unfortunately, no. And likely will not be taking on a job like that. I have a game plan to do it if needed, but no need to actually do that job for myself.
Hey, I have gone through with the swap just the way you did… but I think I kinda missed a step in the coding or something, as my cruise control doesn’t work
Do you know what it could be? Does yours work?
You have to recode the steering wheel electronics control module if you haven’t already.
Would it be possible to change a DSG 7 from a Skoda Octavia 2011 1.8 tsi to a manual? 🤔 It has 160 hp and also a 1 year fixed engine, because of the oil use I had to do it..
Its possible. However, we did not get those particular 7 speed DSGs here in North America. Your best bet would be to find a parts car with the same engine that has the manual and pull everything you need from it.
very good Congratulations! I'm thinking of doing the opposite :) remove the manual transmission and install the DSG :) will it be an easy process?

No mention of the spigot bearing in the end of the flywheel. Does the manual trans and the DSG share the same spigot bearing?
Irrelevant. The DSG flywheel is incompatible with the manual transmission and vice versa.
@@carsonthepartsguy8751 the spigot bearing is in the crankshaft not the flywheel.
@@PetesWorkshop The input shaft of the DSG is the only one that protrudes into the crank, so on the manual the pilot bearing isn’t used. Also, DSG and Manual engines share part numbers, so there’s that.
Oh! I did not know that. That is a lot of rotating mass to hang of the end of the gearbox input shaft. There is a listing for a spigot bearing for mk2 Audi TT 6spd Manual. I’m about to put a 2.0 tsi engine from a DSG mk6 GTi so I will report back my findings.
@@PetesWorkshop On the manual, the pilot bearing serves the purpose of receiving the clutch alignment tool, as when I did mine it fit right in. But if you Google pictures of the 02Q gearbox and 02E gearbox and look at the input shafts, you’ll see the difference.

You have to run the wire between the clutch pedal and J519, and recode J519 to indicate it’s a manual gearbox. On my car it’s a purple/black wire that runs from the DSG to J519. You can also ground that wire out, but that would allow the starter to engage with the clutch pedal up.

If you want to get a donor car for it, your best bet would be a MK6 Golf R. It has the same engine as your TT-S.
@@carsonthepartsguy8751 Thanks! Would I have everything I need with the donor car?
@@joshuacucufate8413 The only thing you’d have to get that is TT-specific is the shifter surround trim, and maybe a different shift knob and boot depending on your tastes. In the USA, you’d get the shifter trim from an 8J TT-RS as that was the only manual 8J sold here.
@@carsonthepartsguy8751 Thanks a lot!
Hi there
I want my mk5 golf manual to dsg.is it the same in reverse?
No, it isn’t. A lot more wiring to add. Is it possible? Yes. Am I going to cover that subject? Alas, no.
Can you do a video on how to swap a manual into a 2021 Audi S3? Thanks
I could, and its likely possible with the parts bin. But I don't have a 2021 S3 test subject or any of the parts.
@@carsonthepartsguy8751 I would gladly supply a 2017 S3 if you would want a car to try it on.
@@sawyercrosby3710 Well, I know it’s going to involve raiding the Golf R parts bin. And you’d probably want to go aftermarket on the clutch, pressure plate and flywheel setup. All that’s left to figure out is coding and wiring. If you’re serious, my Audi-modding co-conspirator Matt and I have discussed doing this kind of work on the side out of his garage in Vero Beach. We can talk about that if you’re serious. 🙂
@@carsonthepartsguy8751 I’ll need a couple months- just bought a house but I’m game. The mechanical aspect doesn’t bother me so much as the wiring and coding aspect of it.
@@carsonthepartsguy8751 i just retired down to the southern AL area. I've got a mk 7 golf r transmission and bevel box ready. Ill be acquiring the rest of the parts slowly, but I'm probably going to get an S3 sometime in the 2025 era....which year I'll feed once done. I've got to finish paying off my wife's Yukon then I can take this project on.
Currently I'm also getting parts to do the AWD swap on my 15 GLI. But that project is going slow due to that is my daily driver to work currently. I'd prefer to get the S3 manual swap completed first then get back on to this...
can you go from a manual to a dsg with an audio tt mk1 ?
You can, but it could possibly require a standalone ECU for communications with the mechatronic in the DSG. The factory MK1 (8N) TT 3.2s were standard with DSG in the USA, no manual option until the MK2 (8J) TT 3.2 came out. People have DSG swapped older stuff but that isn't a subject I'm likely to cover myself.
Do you think i can do the same with my audi TT 3.2 quattro 2009？ thank you.
You absolutely can. You’ll need to use parts from a TT 3.2 6MT donor car.
Hey man any idea where I can find the info for the module programming for a 2008 vw gti
A MK5 GTI will be similar to this. Same modules, possibly slightly different coding values, obviously no AWD coding to worry about.
@@carsonthepartsguy8751 thanks for the quick response! I bought this thing in a project state with the intentions of teaching myself anything I could ever want to learn about cars and I'm feeling like this step will definitely give me my money's worth lol
@@drewsayles1934 Good luck man! Just remember if you swap a FWD you need the passenger front axle from a manual donor as well.
@@carsonthepartsguy8751 thank you for the luck and the knowledge! Luckily I already budgeted for new axels for piece of mind. I'll be honest it took me 2 tries to watch this video. The first time I heard awd audi and the format styling of your video wasn't my cup of tea. I'm thankful I gave it another watch tho the sheer amount of information your style allows you to give is unrivaled by any automotive TH-camr I've ever see! All that said thank you for your willingness and commitment to spread the wealth of knowledge!
The swap is done on my 2010 vw scirocco, but i haven't understand how to wire the reverse light switch in the fuse box
Can you please help me out?
We didn’t get the “new” Scirocco here in the United States. But, with that said, my car is wired as follows:
Fused Power from the engine compartment multi-fuse (I used an inline fuse) to the reverse light switch, wire out of the reverse light switch to J519 under the dash. Recode J519 to tell the car it’s manual. Would highly suggest grabbing the wiring diagrams for your particular Scirocco and locate which pin in J519 accepts the reverse light switch signal.
Can you please explain from which fuse compartment( engine or dashboard side fuse compartment) have you installed the wire ? because i took a wire to the dash board fuse compartment and i had a problem that the car refused to start
Thanks for having time to reply 😊
@@mustaphahadjmahmoud-ex5ow I ran a wire directly from the engine compartment fuse block, which has stud terminals you can throw a ring terminal and nut onto to use for power. That goes to an inline fuse as specified in my video, then to the reverse light switch, and from the reverse light switch a wire is fed to J519 to provide the reverse light signal so J519 activates the lights when you put it in reverse.
I got it! Thanks mate!
Hi
I’m planning a swap the other way round.. I have a manual and want to swap to a dsg. I have a 2018 Skoda superb
Any advice
Nice video man. When I code my cayc ecu to manual 6 speed using long code helper the coding is rejected. Did you not get this problem?
I did not. No problems recoding the ECU for my CCTA code NA-spec ECU. Your other option would be to get a tuner to reflash the ECU with a manual file.
@@carsonthepartsguy8751 Maybe because it's South African variant but will give it a try.
Is this the same for a tdi?
It’ll have its own component differences, such as the clutch, PP and flywheel setup, but the basics of the swap are the same. If you’re swapping a FWD 8P A3 TDI from DSG to Manual, you’ll want the transmission, axles, starter, bolts and the aforementioned c/pp/fw setup a MK5/MK6 Golf/Jetta, ideally with the same engine code if possible. Then make the necessary wiring changes.
@@carsonthepartsguy8751 okay, so what about after i switch the ecu?
Would i need to swap the ignition from the doner car as well?
@@Anthony-sr3if Look into recoding your existing ECU first. I was able to on mine, but not sure on a TDI. You also have the option of swapping a manual ECU in and having it adapted to your car by a dealership or shop with a factory scan tool and subscription to ODIS.
About how much did all this cost?
I paid $1150 shipped for the brand new gearbox, flywheel and clutch setup was $500 (got a deal) and the rest of the parts came from a wrecked MK5 GTI I bought for $350 and parted out. 😉
Clearly, you pretty much need to be a professional mechanic AND have a lot of time available to study wiring diagrams and find compatible parts in order to do this. It's not just pulling one trans and installing another.
It’s the parts bin, and while I am a former certified VW/Audi Tech and a current VW parts consultant, I do believe this swap is within reach to anyone with good mechanical aptitude. It’s swapping parts out, no real fabrication required in this instance. I’ve laid it all out here, and if given the opportunity I’d gladly swap others like the 3.2 VR A3 or MK5 R32. Knowing what is compatible does help, and brand knowledge also comes into play - but a lot of enthusiasts already have that. The wiring diagrams weren’t hard to follow at all. But, if you want something bad enough, you’ll find a way. 🙂
May i get parts from you? As i wanted to make a RHD convertion for my a MK8 Golf R which manual is only available in usa and canada.
