I would say that a super diff would be a definite. A Weddle 3 & 4 gear should be in the future. :mrgreen:

It will depend on how you drive.. If you go really easy and only ride easy trails, you will be fine with a 6 rid. If you plan to hit hills or difficult trails, you will need a super diff and weddle gears.

Hmmm! It would seem to me that if someone intends to use a Turbo Motor in a Buggy they are not going to be be driving Ms. Daisy! :wink: :mrgreen: Super diff and 1 thru 4 Weddles minimum.

Stop it ! I shucked a many of side shifts with my Buick v6. Do not hope, guess or fathom harmony with a vw trans and a power house.My biggest problem was case flex, the gears move apart from each other then shuck. The trans that came with the motor is what you want.I know the Passat has been down for a while with a bad wire but I have not busted a trans .Diff yes.but they are cheap and plentiful at Pull a Part.
