[s-cars] Subject: Re: 6 speed?

[Andrew Beckert]

As an aside I put a CBL 6-speed with a noisy 1st gear into my RS2 sedan and
it's never changed a bit in the 2yrs or so it's been in the car.  Mind you
I've never hit the dragstrip, but I've done my share of full throttle 1st
gear launches.  It's just kind of noisy with the windows down, but I don't
drive around in 1st gear.
