The 3.636 is not quite there for the 6 speed still kind of silly 1st second and 3rd. A stock 5 speed with a 3.909 has really good gears but is pretty useless if it breaks every time you take it to the track.

Quaife is a **** company, with a **** warranty, and too expensive for all the failures in the VW side.

Plenty of people in the Honda community are plenty happy with their Quaife diffs. Besides, i'm sure the quaife gearbox will have less of those worries since its going through FM.
