95' Mk3 Golf VR6 Gearbox Reliability

[Briesey]

Hey Guys, Complete newbie, But have joind due to the fact that i have aquired a 95 vr6 golf.
I'm at the point where i can re-register my current ride, or get the vr6 on the road.

The only problem with the car is if i get it on the road with the little money I have and she breaks, I'm without a car.

Motor has done 140k (rebuilt) and runs like a dream, so im not worried about that, my only concern is running gear. I will be changing wheel bearings and sus' bushings myself but the box has done 290k (5 speed manual).

Tranny oil was changed every 50k i beleive but she has been man handled a little.

Any info towards the reliability of the box would be a great help.

Thanks and i hope to become vdub man!
