Re: trying to get 10-sec out of a 1.8T

Well, if you can fabricate a bracket so the clutch
cable comes straight into the pedal, great!  The 02A
and J tranny's have larger gears so they can handle
higher hp loads.  It's just alot more work to install
the cable shifter and fab the clutch cable etc.  

As far as I know Yarrow's car has dynoed at around
240hp to the wheels...
