Call me silly but im excited. Made another purchase for the 1vv drive-train for the Jetta. This time the transmission.
Here are the stats:
The tranny is newly done, 0 miles.
3.94 final drive
16v gearset with .80 5th gear
steel coated syncros
bolt kit
updated hubs (a3)
new seals/bearings.
I was planning on getting a Quaife as well. I may just stay with whats in this tranny. Its a shim kit but actually bit more agressive than the standard Peloquin/Velocity kits.

Re: Woohoo. Bought a tranny. (16v)

No, once the Jetta is running I will be hitting up the dyno days.
The body shop is still giving us a headache.

At least I have the Golf, my sister has no car to drive.

Wow, your car is going to look so fresh, Can't wait to see the finished product!

The tranny was built by a guy named Rui. He runs a shop called RM Pro tuning here in Central Falls, RI. He knows his stuff.
The tranny pricre was $995 including a 200 core. I gave him a 2h tranny which I had planned pulling the 3.94 ring and pinion out, so the final cost was $795. Included 2 bottles of Redline gear oil as well.

Good call. It was freshened up with some aluminum paint. Looks fine to me.

A higher final drive would be nice, with the .80 fifth it won't rev too high at highway cruising speeds either.

Re: (tram)

Sweet deal. I just payed $800 for a rebuild.
