yes low 4s id say, depending on what the engines been chipped to.traction also comes into play :oops:

traction will probably b the main problem! :roll:

i think a boost switch would keep the wheels from spinning.maybe in third gear u could slam it on when u have gained traction :D

Stick with the Golf GtI 02J Transmission, the six speed Audi gearboxes hang too low especially if your car is already lowered.

what about the seat 20v gearbox,does that also hang too low?

Hangs low because it has to go under chassis leg?? I've heard they're awkward to get into conversions cos there isn't the room for them?? :?
