4 or 5-speed? And wich one??

Oasis,

If you are looking for a bolt in 5 speed solution, perhaps Martin's kit is what you need.

If you have a buddy with a welder, the fab work is simple ... I think I spent about 10$ in materials for the front mount and the shift rod (not including the u-joints). You have to be comfortable with removing the engine and stock transmission by yourself.

I wish I had known about Martin's kit when I built my setup .. would have taken less time to get it installed.

Driving a bug with a proper 5 speed is quite an experience ... I'm talking properly spaced gearing ... not a close ratio 4 and then a big gap between 4th and 5th or a 4 speed with a huge gap between 3rd and 4th.

Either Berg 5 or 901 ... you do have a choice ... I've made mine

Its fun keeping up with a C230 kompressor on the highway at 190 kph
