There has been lots of debate on this subject, I don't know

Well the 4k is anything but tall geared.  It'll give you
really nice acceleration, but will be pretty buzzy on the
highway.  I now have a 4k tranny in my 16v, combined with a
.80 5th gear, which I'm very happy with.  Many have opted
for the .75 with this transmission but I didn't want a huge
hole between 4th & 5th.
