What transmission would YOU recommend?



Well, it's good you're replacing it cause if you ran it for any
distance with 5th gear broken your ring and pinion are probably
missing about half their teeth.

BTW, who's Kirsten??? ;^)

The only major problem was the transmission lost 5th gear during the trip to OK. I was a dumb-ass about it; assuming that because it has been driving ok up until now, that the trans. oil didn't need to be checked b4 the trip. It was a pint low after the fact. So anyways here I am with a 4-speed Scirocco that has a nice, clean de-carbon'd engine, but a not so clean (sounding) transmission. I want to just get a replacement to keep it simple, but here's my delema...

I will probably do a FI of some sort, but probably not turbo unless someone convinces me otherwise. This swap goal is set for late spring, or summer 06' so what I was wondering what transmission would be best for my requirements. Is there a trans out there that is good for both engines? Will I have to get the exact same trans. for the stock Scirocco engine, then a different one for the ABA? Tell me what you'd recommend that I do.
