Custom Tranny Gears

[Pedro Faria]

my mistake i hit the send buttom unintentionally

if you have a quattro try a gear box from a 5000q or 200q their 5th is
better than the 4000 or why not try and get the whole tranny, they have a
different final drive

at one point in time i was considering to do it on my 4000 when i would do a
turbo swap, what stopped me was that the 200 20v has the same final drive as
does the 4000, so if i have the same engine i would do better than a 20v due
to less 500lbs

just a thought
