  seems i have a gasser tranny in my Rabbit TD then. Code FN

  
  
  Entirely possible. Like I said I didn't "think" the 0.71 gears were used in a diesel. Is it the original tranny?

• thats the thing, just got the car a couple years ago, looks like a bit of work went into it (rebuilt engine, extensive bodywork that i didnt see when i bought it) so probably not
