    As far as I know, the TDI 4 Motion exists in Europe. Does anyone know the tranny code of that transmission and if I can swap it's lower 5th gear into my 04 4 Motion? I've been searching for hours but I'm coming up empty.

    New to the forum. I have an 04 Passat 4 door, 1.8T, 5sp manual, 4 motion - a fairly unique setup it seems. I am interested in going to a .717 5th gear to get a true overdrive. I am trying to find out if it is a simple end cover pop-out with the tranny in-place, or a full R&R. --? Thank you for...
