	Sounds just about right to me.  Unfortunately, as you may recall, my
tranny went Boom!, although I don't think it was the original (my engine
is from an '88).  Plus my mechanic couldn't figure out exactly where the
tranny was from, I think the markings might have been removed?

	Whoa, there's two trannies?  How does the Jetta GTX tranny compare?  I
can tell you that before, I had no real pull in 5th gear, but now I
don't have to downshift like before.  There's lots of tug.

	You mean you actually have a friend with a 16V Roc?  That is too much
fun.  Having another one around with which to compare mine to would be
great.

	Before I blew my tranny out, I had the car at a steady 207 km/h (128
mph) for about a minute or two...I was following this guy in a tricked
VR6 GLX.  Although I've gone 200km/h (±5 km/h) about 8 times in the past
3 days, I haven't had it there long enuff to get up to 130mph.  I'll
keep trying tho :)
