Default Yes, in my 2000 GTI 1.8T when I had it. It was sweet to listen to but, like the STI, needed a...
larger final drive ratio to make it better.

Default Best gearbox music ever was from the '69-70 Chevelle SS 396
with the Muncie rock-crusher tranny, it sounded like our reverse gear in all 4 gears. It was amazing to hear.
