I'm really leaning toward putting the TDI from a wrecked '96 Passat into the '92 Cabriolet I've been driving. (Was hoping to put it in my '78 Bus, but this will be quicker and easier and cheaper!)
Anyway, the 020 transmission that is in there is a close ratio trans and would have the TDI revving up pretty good. It is supposed to be at 70 MPH at 3500 RPM, though via a GPS unit, it was actually doing 76 at 3500 RPM (So maybe someone changed the 5th gear sometime, I dunno.) But since I would like to get the rpms down more at speeds of 70-75. My Trans' code is AUG.
I could go through a lot of effort to install the Passat's trans in the Jetta, but it would be simpler to find a more suited 020.
I have opportunity to buy an 020 coded FF, FN, and AGS.

I'm not quite sure I understand how all the gears interplay, though my first impression is that the AGS would give me a slightly lower RPM at a given highway speed.
Any thoughts on which one I should go after?
