I use a standard 5speed manual with my V6 in combination with an adapter
plate (you can see it www.vwbus-online.de/feussner).
Since 1998, I replaced the gearbox twice. All three (the first one counted
in) had over 180.000km when I they were bolted onto the V6.
I guess, they�d have gone defective anyway, the V6 was not the main reason.
All in all, the 5speed stands the torque quite well if you don�t do burn
outs at every stop light...

After me and a friend built our V6 mid-engine DoubleCab with tiptronik, I
definitely DON�T want to manually shift anymore. So I will use the Audi
automatic in my own Vanagon, too, and reverse its direction with a specially
built gearing.
