Sounds difficult and expensive. Don't think it's worth it. Not many have done it.

Default not a small undertaking....the cost difference to do it>>
could justify getting rid of your 180 and buying a 225...IMO

Default Not so sure why we have all the naysayers....
maybe most of them forget there was such animal as a 180 quattro. Going from a 5 to 6 speed shouldn't be much trouble at all. The transmission cases are the same... if you have a 6 speed pulled out of a 225 quattro, it should be plug & play.

agreed...even the FWD would only need an O2M from a GTI, inputshafts and axles (i think thats it)

Default Actually - all you really need is the gear to replace the spacer in the 02M 5 speed
gear ratios would be slightly different - but no big deal.

Default blech....
all that gets you is a slightly higher 6th gear... doesn't address the gear spacing problem so obvious to me when I do a back-to-back A-B comparo from a 5 to 6 speed quattro coupe.
