For those of you just dying to know. Its a five rib transmission. Jim Arnott says its the toughest box ever put in a vw .............. hope so. Now for the genuine guru; what high end gear should I expect ? (getting ready to buy tires, currently has 215 x 75 R 14" tires on it.) It drives good with them and seems to have plenty of gear / power left at 70 mph. Thanks to all of you folks that replied.
