Thanks for your suggestions lads, I'm going to give the SMF and clutch a go and see how it feels for now, wish id never got into the idea of the 6 speed now, its been a nightmare trying to get all the parts together  :rolleyes: but does anyone no where i can get a secondhand power steer pipe from the pump vein to the steering rack but of a 6 speed box ???

Theres a breaker in matlock who breaks only mk4s he got a sh!t load of parts. I went to him again on sunday. If you want hisndetails pm me. He has alot of stuff TRUST ME lol

After careful consideration im not putting the 6 speed box on now !!!  :undecided: sticking to the 5 speed unit and going to go down the route of fitting a LSD and quaifile gear box instead

Any one have any ideas of how to go about doing this now ???

Going 6 speed was one of the best things I ever did for the car, feels amazing.

Now, this is an odd topic this one.

On Paper, it's really very little difference between 5th on the 5 speed and 6th on the 6 speed.

The difference in RPM at 70 isn't much at all, and I didn't expect to notice any difference.

but my god, it's REALLY different isn't it?

SOOOO much quieter and more calm on the motorway!
