Transaxle Q

[jdbubb at verizon.net (Dan Bubb)]

Your 81 should have come with an FN gearbox according to ETKA.
The FF and FN have identical ratios although the earlier FF's had a .76 5th gear unlike the later ones with .71.
3.89 FD, 3.45; 1.94; 1.29; 0.91; 0.71
Relatively short final drive (the other options are 3.94 and 3.67) with the widest gear ratios available for the 020 box.
FF's are listed as 3/78 to 7/81 in either Rabbit or Jetta, only till 7/80 for the Scirocco.

Hi list,
    I've got a line on an FF transaxle from an '81 that's being parted (not sure if trans is original to the car)
    Can anyone tell me what the FF's ratios are, and when/ what models it was installed to as stock? I don't know the trans codes enough to know if this is a close ratio short geared box or the more livable tall geared box. I like the (stock) box in my '81, decent power but really nice highway cruising; about 32- 3300 rpm at 80mph or so. I'd like to get hold of a spare if this FF is the equivalent.
 
thanks, Karl
