Hi Anson
    I have a 9a tranny in my 79 Scirocco It was built by Vince at V/L in =
Oregon. It is a six speed with a Quaife using V/L's 6 sp conversion. We =
have a 3.89 final the 9A close ratio gears except switching a .91 for =
the .89 5th because it is a stronger gear and then the 6th gear is a .71 =
The gap between the .91 and the .71 is big but not huge like your gap =
between 4 and 5. With your gap from 1.13 to .71 what do you run on the =
60-65  mph roads? I find the .71 great for the freeway ( at 75 I'm =
turning about 3 grand ) but the .91 is my country road cruising gear.=20

  gearing is a true joy other than the four/five dive, I used a .71 =
fifth for the freeway stuff.
