000311671 Volkswagen HOUSING

This housing basically does exactly what it sounds like – it’s the shell, the enclosure that holds all the gears inside your gearbox. It keeps everything contained and protected, and provides mounting points to connect the gearbox to the engine and the driveshaft. It’s also got passages built into it for the oil that lubricates those gears. It’s a pretty complex casting, actually, designed to be both strong and manage temperature well. The gearbox, and therefore the housing, is a crucial part of getting power from your engine to your wheels. It takes the engine’s fast rotation and turns it into a slower, more powerful rotation that can actually move the car. The housing is what allows all of that mechanical work to happen safely and efficiently. It’s a core component in the drivetrain. Well, without it, you wouldn't have a functioning gearbox. The housing acts like a shield, protecting the delicate gears inside from dirt, debris, and impacts. If the housing cracks or gets damaged, oil can leak out causing rapid wear and eventually complete failure of the gearbox. You’ll notice if the housing is going bad, generally because of a pretty significant oil leak or grinding noises coming from underneath the car. It’s a big job to replace a gearbox, so keeping the housing in good shape is a smart move. You can find replacements at places like Fixparts Online, but honestly, it's something you really want to address promptly if you spot a problem. Invest in reliability: Housing (MPN 000311671) includes a 12-month warranty!
