I don't usually start threads, but I had to share this one.
A few months ago, I completed a five speed swap on a 2000 beetle for a close friend. It's a Sachs g60/vr6 SMF kit from a reputable vendor. He drove the car about four thousand miles, then decided to loan the car to a 60 year old lady friend from church for a few days while her car was being worked on. Let me just say that when I did the swap, I had the old style cables which are not easy to adjust, and 1st gear was a little tricky to find. However, anyone else that drives that car figures it out pretty quickly. Long story short, this is what happens when you loan your five speed to someone that has no business driving it. A few days out of warranty and 4000.. An expensive lesson to learn.
