    Not good man! Assuming that she's all fixed now? And your pocket is much lighter than it was before? Aha

    That will be $200 for the diagnostics, I take bitcoin.

    When I did mine I needed new bolts in the diff, a new 1st gear, a syncro and some seals.
    But the kicker was the 6 weeks for a new plastic speedo gear.

    A rebuilt box is probably the best option for longevity or an original from a wrecker if you are just going to sell it off.
    MK4 GTI - Sold

    Haha i may aswell have payed you $200! The guy i took it to is charging me 300 for "diagnostics". Or to tell me that the problem with my speedo not working is exactly what i told him i thought the problem was when i took it there on Monday..... because it apparently took him 3 hours to connect to my ECU to figure out that the problem actually is in the gearbox
