My father's got the aforementioned lurking about with a noisey gearbox. The oil's been checked and it's ok, guessing it's more involved in that so wondering what other box would fit e.g. A4/Passat that are good and plentiful.
Ideally I'd want to put a six speed from a similar car in there, but I won't hold my breath and I think the 130pd 5 speed has a very similar top gear ratio.
Another thought; is the five speed a six speed box minus a gear, so if it was taken out for a rebuild it could have it added?
I'm a bit sad it's off the road atm, it still starts and runs sweetly.
Thanks in advance for any help
