An odd thought but here goes...
A good year ago at least I always wondered whather 6-speed boxes could be fitted to the FWD A3's but when was informed that the drive ratio's on an S3 are closer than the A3 hence why the S3 and the quattros have 6 anyway (someone can conform this is need be).
But then after seeing a thread on a forum whereby someone had their box stripped to replace a reverse gear and seals i thought it is possible to fit a sixth gear direct to the original 5-speed boxes for the likes of more economical motorway driving?
Just more a discussion than advice really as was something on my mind.
