like the title says, is the ASF a good tranny for a diesel freeway cruiser? I was wondering if the 3.65 or the .71 would make much of an efficiency difference? mostly what I am looking for is if I want to drive 700-3k miles 90% freeway at 75mph what kind of different maybe a 6g would make?
Jeremy just doesnt like HIGH gears..Love high gears, just not close ratio on a diesel.my gasser has 85hp.. thats NOT MUCH MORE than a stock TD, or modified n/a...but one thing the diesel will ALWAYS have more of, is TORQUE..Unless it is a TDI then no, it won't lol. Your 1.8 85hp also has 98ft.lbs of torque, which is more than the 1.6TD

The ACN is not as close as the actual close ratio boxes .. but it is dam near the same gearing.I just prefer taller gearing than what the ACN offers.

dang, just blow it all up in here.... so Im guessing that my asf with the 3.67 and .75 will be just fine and dandy.... otherwise sounds like my best bet would be to find the oddball 6g
The AGS from what I gather has the longest separation between gears, but it has stock a 3.94 ring and pinion. I swapped mine to 3.67 and with the power I had I still could shift 1,3,5 if I wanted. I agree that the ACN had the highest gear from the factory and would really love to try one.close ratio is what my one year only 2H is. It sucks, and I am pulling it for whatever reason, maybe an autocross guy will want it, but it is tied with the closest gears of all VW trans. The ONLY way it could get worse is if they put the 4.25 ring gear in it instead of the 3.94 it came with.
