I really shouldn't have read this thread.

I always read "Retrofitting OEM complete gear sets in an alternate transmission case is permitted (9.1.4.3.E.3)" as all of the gears from one box into another, presumably for fitment purposes. mix n match opens bigger doors. good / bad is debatable.

that said -
if anyone is considering a D series, go out and dig up HF or 4spds boxes and those from ZCs because they combine with Si boxes to have the gears you'll want for a close ratio 5spd.

Toyota C boxes will be fun... something like 28 years and MANY models running this family, with a lot of part interchangeability.

I'm betting there are more than a few VW combos available, too.

I'm with adam... shouldn't have read.

Need to keep up with the latest regs, Chip...we changed it to remove that "complete" from "gear sets"...you can now mix n match gears. That was intentional.

Oh, crap - I missed that, too. That changes things, and does indeed remove my previous concern re: euro 'boxes.

EDIT - The homologation special options will still have some clout. Take a look at http://www.scirocco.org/gears/ and scroll down to "VW Motorsport." Bwah, hah, haaaah!
