 Ok, so are you asking between a 9A, AGB, and a 4K which one will be less
likely to die?  That all depends upon the condition the trannies are in
currently... however, the AGB does have the larger main shaft, which I suppose
does help its overall "strength".  
  If this tranny will be mated to a turbo-charged engine, then I would
definitely stay away from the 4K tranny, as the gear ratios are *really*
close!  Take a look at scirocco.org under the gears section and look up
these tranny codes to compare gearing...
