6spd tranny?

[vwscir88@hotmail.com (brett cooke)]

all right guys, pulled the tranny out and got her cleaned up a little. nice 
lookin tranny, half black and half steel. i didn't see any "vle" number, the 
numbers on the tranny are AGB 05017
                                        4
thats exactly how they appear. on the end that stuck into the wheel well is 
stamped option-6. any ideas or recognition? also, the head on this motor 
appears to be "shorter" then the stock heads we have sitting around, but 
it's got the standard vw made in germany stamps. any ideas?
