Browse 2002 Volkswagen Transmissions by Model
Five model lines carry the 26 units we stock for 2002. Twenty-two of them name a three-letter transmission ID code, and the code is where most of the work gets done in this year - but on the Jetta and the Beetle/Bug it is not enough on its own. Text us your VIN and a specialist confirms the match.
2002 Passat (8)
Eight units - the year's largest line and the widest spread of fitments in it. Four automatics: 2.8L FWD (EZZ), 2.8L AWD 4Motion (FAS), 1.8L turbo (EZS) and the 4.0L eight-cylinder (GAK). Four manuals: 2.8L without AWD (DVZ), 2.8L AWD 4Motion (DWM), and two 1.8L turbos (EHV and EZG). Every one of the eight names an ID code.
2002 Jetta (7)
Seven units. Three automatics - 2.0L (FDF), the 2.8L six-cylinder four speed (FCZ) and the 1.8L gasoline four speed (FDC) - against four manuals: the 2.8L six-cylinder five speed (EHC), the 1.8L turbo (EGX), and 2.0L EZK and EGT. The 2.8L is the only six-cylinder in the line.
2002 Beetle/Bug (5)
Five units, three of them manual: 2.0L EZK and EGT, plus the 1.8L turbo five speed (EGX). Two automatics: 2.0L (FDF) and 1.8L turbo (FDC). Every code here is also carried by a 2002 Jetta, so the code alone will not tell you which car a unit came off.
2002 Golf (3)
Three units, all 2.0L: a manual hatchback, an automatic hatchback, and an automatic convertible (DLZ). Only the convertible names an ID code, and neither hatchback names a gear count - check the VIN.
2002 Cabrio (3)
Three units, all 2.0L, cataloged identically to the 2002 Golf: a manual hatchback, an automatic hatchback, and an automatic convertible carrying DLZ - the same code the Golf convertible carries. Confirm the badge and the VIN.
What makes 2002 different
2002 is the only year with an eight-cylinder gearbox. One unit here - the Passat automatic behind the 4.0L W8, transmission ID GAK - is the only eight-cylinder Volkswagen transmission in our catalogue in any model year. Not the only 2002 one: the only one, full stop. Every other Volkswagen transmission we stock, across every year, sits behind a four-cylinder or a six. If you are looking at a W8 Passat, this collection is the only place in our inventory the gearbox exists, and GAK is the code to check for.
The Passat is at its widest here. Eight of the 26 units are Passats - the largest line in the year - and they span more ground than any other: 1.8L turbo, 2.8L front-wheel drive, 2.8L all-wheel drive (4Motion) and the 4.0L W8, in four automatics and four manuals. It is also the only 2002 line where every single unit names an ID code, which makes it the easiest one to pin down precisely and the one where getting the drivetrain wrong costs you the most.
And every gearbox in 2002 is a four or five speed. No 2002 title names a six speed - the first six-speed automatics in our Volkswagen catalogue appear the following model year. Where a 2002 title does name a gear count it is a four (the Jetta FCZ and FDC automatics) or a five (the Jetta EHC and the Beetle/Bug EGX manuals). Most 2002 titles name no gear count at all, so if the count matters to your build, send the VIN and we will confirm it against the donor before anything ships.
Why Buy a 2002 Volkswagen Transmission from Auto Power Source
Every 2002 Volkswagen transmission in our inventory is pulled from a low-mileage donor vehicle, cataloged by VIN, and held in our warehouse pending sale. Each unit goes through our six-step inspection - VIN-matching, shift testing, road-load verification, full visual inspection, multi-angle photography, and palletized shipping.
Our ASE-certified technicians shift-test each unit through every gear before any 2002 Volkswagen transmission is cleared for sale. You pay a fraction of dealer-new pricing for identical Volkswagen engineering, ship free on a heavy-duty pallet anywhere in the continental U.S., and get up to a 3-year warranty plus 30-day money-back. Not sure whether your Passat is the EZZ or the FAS? Text your VIN and we will confirm.

2002 Volkswagen Transmission Buying Guide
-
Start with the three-letter ID code. Twenty-two of these 26 units name one. On the Passat every single unit names a code, and it is the fastest way to separate the four automatics from each other.
-
Confirm automatic or manual. 2002 splits exactly down the middle - 13 automatics and 13 manuals - so the year gives you no help by default. Every model line here stocks both.
-
On a Jetta or Beetle/Bug, the code is not enough on its own. FDF, FDC, EZK, EGT and EGX are each carried by both models. Pair the code with the displacement and your VIN.
-
On the Passat, settle the drivetrain first. The 2.8L is cataloged as FWD (EZZ), AWD 4Motion (FAS automatic, DWM manual) and without AWD (DVZ). These are not interchangeable.
-
Always run the donor VIN if available. We provide it on request for any transmission in our inventory to verify mileage and history.
Our ASE-certified technicians verify every one of these points against your VIN before any transmission ships.

What is the warranty on a 2002 Volkswagen transmission?
Up to 3 years, depending on the specific unit. The exact warranty term is listed on each product page.
What does shift-tested mean?
ASE-certified technicians run each unit through every gear under load and verify clean engagement with no slip, flare or harsh shift before it is cleared for sale.

Can I see photos before I buy?
Yes. Multi-angle photos of the actual unit are sent before payment.
Do I need my VIN?
Strongly recommended. Twenty-two of these 26 units name a three-letter transmission ID code, and five codes are shared between the Jetta and the Beetle/Bug - the VIN settles which one you need.
What if I do not approve the photos?
Every dollar back - no restocking fees, no return freight charges.
Why is this cheaper than the dealer?
