What I have planned for it is a few internal upgrades. First we will convert the box to a 6 speed. Next drill some holes for better oil flow to the 5th and 6th gears. We will then install a Peloquin LSD for better all around handling and performance over the open differential currently in the gearbox. Lastly fill her up with the best synthetic oil we can buy and bolt her up to the TDI :-)

This is part of my high mileage high performance strategy lol

Which oil do you plan to use?
