Smile It's in!!!

Hi guys,
Finally got my 5-speed in. I've driven it and am very happy. I ended up using a J-west Rennshifter. It was quite a bit more work, but I'm very happy with the results. Hats off to Ken at German Transaxle for getting my box rebuilt with the gear ratios I wanted. With a stock 2.0 type 4, it accelerates very, very well. 80mph is 3600rpms and right on my motor's torque curve.

Thanks for the quality parts. Could'nt have done it without the Bug@5speed conversion parts!
