I would have stuck the 2H in there and rebuilt the FN ASAP. Hit up
http://www.brokevw.com/ for parts and expertise.
My third gear in the FF I have will chirp a bit if I take too long to get it in there from 2nd and will not let me come into it from 4th. No matter what the speed.
Still in town goes just fine. You gotta drive it! Not just zone out and point it down the road.
well after my furlough notice was given to me{ thank you congress... ***s} I went to my local VW performance shop.. dug around there for a while an found an FF transmission... paid a whole 150 dollars for it... it had never been off the engine.. as the engine was with it. it was for sale too..1.6d complete..
now down to the shop and install yet another transmission...
so does a duel downpipe..which was installed by PO help or hurt my engine..
anyways. to the moderators...if this needs to be move to the user rides sections..please do so
