I just ordered my new PhatBox for $199.00 through the Driver's Gear website! :lol: :thumbup: I talked with their Customer Service dept first to verify this deal, and was told this was an Internet only special via their website. Here's the direct link...

Alright I thought Id do a thread where you can post what gear oil you use. Please say what year your car is , what brand of oil you used , what the mileage on you odom was when you did it, how many miles you have been using it , what kind of climate you live in , and what kind of driving you...

Holy cow! (ok mabey i am too excited about this). But the BBC is testing the TV downloading waters by making Fifth Gear episodes available for download. http://www.five.tv/home/frameset/?content=2278491 http://slashdot.org/articles/05/03/21/2341235.shtml?tid=129&tid=95...

I have a 99 Passat V6 (5-speed) with 117K on it. Over the past year or so I have noticed steadily increasing gear whine in all 5 forward gears. My mechanic checked the transmission fluid and said it was fine. The whine completely disappears when I take my foot off the accelerator. Sometimes...

-as the title states, what gear do you leave your MANUAL transmission in while parked(and your reasoning)? -is there a reason NOT to leave it in first? Daniel

Sorry if this is a repost but here's the link http://topgear.breedbandportal.kpn.com/Library.aspx# Under "Make" scroll down and click on VW Then choose Phaeton under "Model" I learned a lot from this video, it's decently long. Don't even bother if you have 56k. He said a lot about the...

My 2002 W8 Tiptronic is "missing something" when going from 1st to 2nd gear. It seems to drop down a couple of thousand RPM's and loses momentum when trying to get away a bit quick. Anybody got any ideas ? My brother drives a 1996 BMW 540 (E39 4.4 V8) and to compare he leaves me standing from...

It started about two or three months ago and it really didn't bother me too much since I used to do most of my driving in auto but now I'm chipped and I would much rather work my baby in Tip mode, the only problem is the transmission slips when going from 1st to 2nd. At first it didn't seem to...

just had my 150th post. i'm now in first gear. vroom, vroom :D

I have a 2003 Passat 1.8T with a 5 speed. I want to change the gear oil soon. I need some help finding the correct oil for this. The dealer parts dept is confused. At one point they tried to sell me ATF fluid. I did buy 3 liter bottles of G052171A2. The bottle says "Transmission Oil"...

I did a search on this sight and a search on google and I didn't come up with the answers I'm looking for. What are the gear ratios and final ratio on my 99 Variant? Yes, I'm trying to make my car in GT2 so I can practice driving it on a track.

The vinyl gear shift boot on my 99 Passat was peeling. With the help of this B5 Forum, I found two sources of replacement boots. I decided to upgrade to leather and got a flat black boot from gottagetashiftboot.com The most difficult part of the installation was getting the plastic cap over...

I posted this problem a few weeks ago with limited response. My main question is this. Have any other W8, 6 speed owners had problems shifting into 2nd? This happens to me when the car is cold, or with hard acceleration. It is especially bad then cornering and shifting from 1st too 2nd. I...

The boot (Gray painted fabric) under the gear shift knob has peeled on my 99 B5. Has anyone replaced theirs? How much is the part? I assume it would be pretty simple to do myself. Any words of advice?

Im looking to order a new grey trim gear shift cover for the B5 because mine is starting to show some wear. Can anyone direct me to the cheapest source? Thanks.

I find if I am in limbo at around 30mph, it wants to rev high in second and a lil too low in third gear. If Im acclerating than 3rd is fine, but not in light traffic. I find myself in hig rev 2nd alot. What about y'all? :???:
