You really need to fix this screw next. You take a chance on damaging something if you try to run an engine hard (in any gear) with a valve misadjusted. The worse it is adjusted the more difference it will make to the performance and the more easily it would be to damage something. Fix it, THEN redo your speed tests. BTW, if you have the pedal floored at 45 you should NOT expect the tranny to shift. - Jim Adney Madison, WI USA ------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <type3-off@vwtype3.org> For more help, see http://vwtype3.org/list/
