Default Thats MoDHD! ;o) I went to the AMS because its aluminum, and...

I've modified it, so the **** sits lower, and the throws are tighter.

The Neuspeed is made of stainless-steel, and not as easy to mod as the aluminum AMS. ;o)

Default 3rd. Throws are shorter, but I'd say the shifting is still notchy from 1 to 2.

That won't be corrected by the shifter, that's in the design of the gearbox. :-(

I love my NS, though. I've had it for about 3.5 years with no issues. Driving other cars now is like driving a bus.

Default Negative, she's a 5MT. MikTip has a great deal going for those of you w/ the 6MT

It would be mine if I had a 6MT.

Default By "solid" are you referring to less slop/play in the shifting?

Not being a Mister Smarty Pants, just curiuos.

Default I don't think there's anyway to get away from that. Even on 5spd jettas I've noticed the 1-2...

notchyness.
