    I came across all the parts I need for a 6 speed swap from a W203 6 sp car in europe. Having everything shipped to me for under $1650 including pedals. Car had 78K on it. I will have a few fitment issues I am expecting, but will work it out and see it I can get the notorious long throw shifting to a little better feel. Cheap enough to experiment with and will certainly be much more fun regardless then what the 4-tronic is.

    Gear ratio is 1) 4.46 2)2.61 3)1.72 4)1.25 5)1.00 6).84
    4tronic ratio is 1) 4.25 2)2.40 3)1.48 4)1

    Also plan to try and use a 3.27 diff in place of my current 3.07

    Here are the comparison in shift rpms and gear top speed for current and then 6sp swap with 3.27's
