RE: transaxle types

["Julie Macfarlane" <juliemac@telenet.net>]

In my GTi I am running 3500 RPM in 5th just to get to 65.... Bummer.
Checking one of the links I found that the lowest number seems to be about
.91

Is there anyone who has done this?  I'm VERY
interested.  I make a 2 hour trip on the highway
once a week.  The 'faster than 75mph 16V screem'
can get to you after a while.

It would be cool to put along in a tall 5th.
