There's a nice gear chart on the Scirocco.org website, it'll give the
ratios and potential donors. AGB is what mine came with, it was fine as it
was, close ratio, 3.67 final if memory serves. I had it rebuilt to a 4K
essentially, and have a real 4K on my 79. I'm sure you will find a few
people with them, but the 4K's an 8V tranny, so the flanges will be 90s,
not 100s. These can be be swapped out. 4K is also close ratio but with a
3.94 final, and a fifth gear swap for something that revs lower in fifth
would complete the package. With a Quaife. ;)
