8-speed? Most I ever heard of is Bugatti's 7-speed paddle-shift tranny. Then there are truck tranny's. 15 speeds! Low, medium, and high gearing!
I mean, how much shifting can you do on the street? When will you ever need that 8th (?) gear? You'd be doing like 180mph! Impractical, unless it was geared SO low...
Stick with 4 or 5 speeds for the VW. Leave 6 speeds and more to the car companies.
