Guest ims3ola Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Hi everyone, i was wondering if I could draw on your experiences of the different gearboxes in the NA. The general consensus with the TT seems to be a 50-50 split between the manual and auto 'box. I was wondering if the same applies to the NA - does the NA need the added flexibility of the manual 'box or does it still have enough power to make the auto box work well?

Faye Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 I've not driven a manual NA, but comparing the auto TT box to the NA box I've found the NA to be much more responsive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian R Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Used to have a 5 speed NA manual was quite pokey but then driving my brother NA aerotop which is obviuosly Auto I would say it is as good if not better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Excellent, they suit the auto box set up. the 5 speed manual is not a brilliant box when the mileage piles up, or if it's had a hard life. Synchros wear out and they also get whiney. Late N/a's have a Getrag 6 speed manual which is a much stronger box, with no known problems save a rather agricultural shift quality.

Guest ims3ola Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Thanks for the input people - I know that i definitely want a facelift model, but it's proving hard to come by a decent example so i can have a go in it. If anyone knows of a nice unmolested facelift NA for sale, please LET ME KNOW (preferably gunmetal:love:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
