I've spoken to Darkside, they tell me I can get a 6 speed box which will fit straight in with my current driveshafts, starter and will also take my clutch! So I will just do that.

that's a good bit of news then with the 6 speed box then..When i got my car i forgot it and always it in 5th on the motor way :grin:
xjay1337:
Haha yeah hopefully I won't forget too many times. Apparently the gearing is a bit longer now so runs to 58 in 2nd rather than my current 54.. mmmm...

Pricey clutch kit, who's it made by? Love the 6 speed idea.

Starting to wish I bought air instead now lol. I'd happily take it to Show n Shine.. :mad:
What clutch kit is pricey? The one I got? Around 600.. custom flywheel with Darkside heavy duty pressure plate and G60 friction disc.

That one, but with the pressure plate and friction disc it makes sense. Still what one are you going for? Obviously not an oem one?
xjay1337:
The 6 speed box from a Touran is a direct bolt on replacement for my gearbox and will take my current clutch buddy. Which cost around £600. It's only 4 months old and not really done many miles, and should be fine (it obviously did a run or two while dripping oil out and didn't slip).
Sorry I should have clarified. :popcornsoda: That's the only reason I am putting the 6 speed in otherwise I would replace with a normal 5.
The best upgrade would be the 2.0 TDI 6 speed as they are bolted and can take the abuse, but that's where you run into the clutch, driveshaft and starter motor problems - being that you need to swap everything out!
