6-Speed / Rear End Combination?

[red91turbo]

Curious to see what rear ends everyone is using with the Getrag 6-speed when installed into a MKIII? How do you like the combination that you are using? Are you going through the gears too fast, RPMS in 6th gear while cruising, gas mileage...any comments in this area would be appreciated!

Thanks,
Rich

Most use the standard 3.73 gear from what I've seen. I'm not sure if you can get the 3.56 gear or not or that would be a good choice. As for the gears being to short, it depends on a lot of thing, tire size, rev range, horsepower, etc. As for RPMS crusing they'll be higher then a R154 as the 6th gear ratio is .793 (.813 v161) vs the .753 5th of the R154.
