Re: modified but dead estate

If I remember correctly the later b5.5 6 speed gearboxes are prone to diff wear, so a smf would just excelarate that wear

A dmf does cushion and protect the box....I've heard first hand a passat tdi with a smf fitted and it was pretty chattery...a lot more than my smf was ( petrol )
