The sale is over, guys. The car was SOLD very quickly. Thanks for the help in selling it!

Guys, the 5th gear synchro went out in my FHN and I was using synchromesh. Even adding LSD friction modifier isn't helping. I'm done playing with high-mileage European transmissions and I'm playing with other diesel vehicles, so I don't have the time for my wagon, anymore.

Almost 250,000 miles. I figure somebody can take the time to swap for a fresh FHN box and put it back into service (or...just get good at matching rpms).

Here's my Craigslist ad: https://indianapolis.craigslist.org/cto/d/morgantown-2005-passat-tdi-wagon-manual/7000564235.html

Btw, your Craigslist link is the one for you to edit your post. You may want to change that.

I could have fixed my link, but then somebody went and quoted it. I completely reworked my post and fixed my link.

Bump for seller. Very nice car & good deal!

I regret selling my 04. In hindsight I wish I had converted it.

Yes, I sold the car. I'm finally getting back in here. I think spoonman4 will take good care of this machine. I see he's already tracking it on Fuelly. Very cool!
