finny 0 Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 Had one in my Mk2 2.9 vr probably fitted around 1998 and IIRC it was about £1,500 fitted back then.Think 1st to 2nd gears were replaced with 3 new gears closer ratio and the standard 3rd, 4th & 5th became now 4th, 5th & 6th.The first 3 new gears made a whining noise (like a touring car) as the teeth on the gears being a 'straighter' cut and stronger.The car obviously felt quicker esp in the new 3rd, like having an extra 50bhp. But once your doing relaxed cruising speed using 5th gear in standard box car, you would just do it in 6th. Fun is only in the first 3 gears.Things have probably developed and evolved over the years (& cost more), but thats my experience with a six speeder back then. Sold the MK2 in 2000 to get one of the first V6 4mo. Link to post Share on other sites
IbiVR 0 Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 Best box mod for a VR6 imo is swapping out the super long 3.3 final drive for a 3.6 from a gti box. Shorter ratios all round and drives MUCH better.Tom. Link to post Share on other sites
FishWick 21 Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 Agreed /\Works great with a turbo too....especially in 5th on the motorway :-) Link to post Share on other sites
