I suspect that VW intended these 2 effects to just about cancel each other out, but I don't know which really "wins." VW's own figures on each version show the AT with a top end that is about 5mph less than the MT, but I've never seen that. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
