Hi,
My car should hopefully be receiving a power-hike shortly (hush-hush at the moment) and I'm seriously thinking of getting a 6-speed box.
Does the 1.8T get the same 5 speed gear-box as the 2.0 or is it different? The 2.0 revs extremely highly when you're going about 120 (on the authobahn etc blah blah) and I think a 6th gear would make travelling at high speed far more economical and potentially lift the top speed? Am I incorrect in saying that?
VWBob warned me that 6 speed boxes are slightly longer (physically) than 5 speed boxes and that fitting one could require extra mounts being made and all sorts of jiggery-pokery... I'd like to fit a 1.8T 6 speed box into my 2.0, does anybody happen to know if it will bolt in or if it will require the aforementioned buggering about!
Many thanks - Toff.
