Yes, it is the finer pitch gears that I was talking about, except for the 1st gear change, I think. The fine pitch gears actually did change the ratios slightly, but I would agree that the change is insignificant. Okay, so the beetles made the same change to the fine tooth gears at the same time. Do you think you can hear the difference? I don't think I can. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
