Re: 2H/4K vs. standard 16v trans

[C1J1Miller@aol.com]

I've seen the kits for the taller 5th gear, but at near $200...
Is it possible to take a taller fifth off another tranny and add it to the close ratio, without buying the kit?

Joe,
GO FOR IT... you'll be pleasantly surprised that your
acceleration will improve and if you put a taller 5th
gear in(I highly advise this) your gas mileage should
increase up towards 35+mpg.  We put a 4k with a .75
5th gear in my best friend's(BU) otherwise stock 16V
about 6 months ago.  His car suddenly got faster than
mine & his mileage went from 28 or 29 to 36.  I gave
him the tranny to use and have been kicking myself
ever since. HTH!
