VW Transmision ? (no Audi content)

[Sonar465 <Sonar465@aol.com>]

I have a question for all you.  A friend of mine just put a used transmision
in his '84 GTI.  On the side of the transmision in yellow greese pencil it
said 1980 Scricco.  Did a 1980 Sciracco come with a 5 speed?  The case looked
exactly like the blown tranny that came out of the GTI but he says that he can
not "find" 5th gear.  Reverse is extremely easy to "find", seemingly in the
place where 1st would be.  Could this just be a linkage proublem?

TIA,
Jim
