thats the gearbox you have now,   unless you swap 5th and do a  hybrid box
oh so what ive got now has low ratios 1 to 4 and a long 5th? cos when doing 70 on the m'way its noisy as hell (cant see revs cos ive got the big ben)


ummmm   beavis is the mad cog swapper,    your box shoudl be the 4+e   but if it goes well it may have a gti box swap ans that makes them go much better,   don't think monster tall 5th gear is the worlds best idea in a 1.6 tho TBH  the 2.0 motors make a lot more torqe so car will happily skip allong behind but they don't accselorate much go puttign a desile 5th in a 1600  and may have a nasty suprise if the engine dosen't have enogh torqes,  so every time meet a slight uphill slope you have to dump down into 4th also if you fall off the end of the power curve ( favort habbit of hot engiens )    you end up going slower and slower even at full throttel  but  come on cam over 70 mph whitch would be brilliant for autoban briveing  sadly we have congested road work ridden roads :(   
all the VW's have gone bar 1.
