Hi all, it's been a while. My 00 1.8 tip has been sitting at my parent's driveway for quite a few years now. I've decided to fix it back up and give it to my nephew. Anyhow, I replaced the trans pan with a new one including new filter and gasket and fluid because the pan had a hole in it...

I'm in a bit of a dilemma here on what to do with my B6. It used to be my every day daily driver, however as of this summer I was handed a work vehicle to drive. I might drive my Passat 1 or 2 days a week max. For the amount that I do end up driving it, I could either just drive my work vehicle...
