![]() ![]() So is it better to have the 02j 5 speed or a 6 speed swap for that kinda driving? Im open to any and all opinions even if I do look like a dummy. I like having torque on stand by when I have to put a ford raptor or civic si in its place. I speed sometimes and im aggressive in a safe manner. Is there any tricks like using tdi 02j gears or should I swap for a different trans? I drive heavy footed. I will still use as a daily for the most part and want it to be fun as hell and weekend trips to the track I wanna hit good numbers. And a big turbo probably GT28rs or something with reliable 350 to 400hp with room to grow. Does this mean I need short or small gears or tall and long gears? Could you explain a little? How would you beef up and what gearing would you use in all the gears if you were gonna have a full gut car custom aluminum dash. I just feel like I could use more time in the gears taking full advantage of boost power band ect. 3rd has the most pull speed and length of all gears and the torque is awesome. 2nd pulls hard and spins the tires all the freaking time without trying and 3 is probably my favorite gear. I feel like 1st is only used for a hot sec and is worthless. I want my 1st and 2nd maybe 3rd with the GT28rs going on next month gears to last a little longer. So with my limited knowledge of gears and what not can someone clarify my thinking on it. But it drove for a month before I replaced the clutch. It looked like a freakin 8 puk disk lmao. What was being used was the steel frame that once held friction material. The stock clutch disk was used up passed the friction material and rivets. I replaced the clutch shifter assy and fluid change trying to fix it. Im thinking the grinding is a bad syncro. I know it has more in it because I can get 130mph in 4th easy on empty highway and through the canyon otw to work at midnight with no houses or cars for 20 + miles. Itll do 95 to 105 ish mph in 3rd on highway before snatch 4th. Just 2 step in 2nd at 4500 rpm so I get a clean 2 to 3 pull and snatch 4th at end just to cruz and drop rpms. So in a 1/4 race or just a light to light weekend warrior 1st to 2nd isnt worth it. Its kinda like only I can drive it right anyone else grinds. My problem is I have to let the 1st to 2nd shift rpms drop pretty low and OR at the same time shift to second slow pulling the shifter down to 2nd just right or I get a grind. Also just got 4 new wheel Berings last week. All suspension and bushings are brand new. Also a 11 or 14lbs single mass aluminum flywheel. I have st3 350hp rated clutch disk st2 pressure plate. The car is very responsive and pulls hard on my dd trips. I have a st 2 plus tune and on stock k03s it sits about 23 psi spikes 28. All emissions delete no cat no 2nd o2 sensor short ram air front mount ic yadda yadda. So I have 02 jetta wagon gutted 1.8t 02j 5 speed manual. My problem is transmissions and gear ratios. As far as hp, turbos, na motors and engine tunes and performance im pretty smart and do all of my own rebuilds and wrenching. ![]()
