Been away from the list for a while, good to be back. I'm about to re power my `82 Westy Diesel with a 1.9L Turbo Diesel. It pretty much looks like a drop in with a few minor changes. Of course, I'll still have the old 4speed, which brings me to my real question...Is the gas 4 speed the same gear ratio as the diesel 4 speed? As it stands, I'll probably have a top speed of about 60-65mph, which is Ok but it'd be nice to see 75-80mph. Any suggestions? <italic><bigger><bigger>Bob Bellanca </bigger></bigger></italic>`81 Diesel Rabbit `82 Diesel Westy `84 Turbo Diesel Jetta
