I had this mod in my 2.4d T4 for a number of years, I changed it back to the original gear lately, the original 5th gear is far more suitable for the low horsepower of the non turbo. It was nice to drop from 4k rpm to 3k rpm @ 80 mph with the mod but I’m happy enough to cruise at 70 mph with the original gear installed @ circa 3500 rpm. It runs along a lot happier, fuel consumption is much the same too, Just thought I’d add a little food for thought for any fellow T4 owners, it’s a compromise fitting this mod, very little acceleration in 5th but will bring the revs down at motorway speeds if that’s where you mostly drive, it just felt like I had a 6th gear but no 5th. Definitely used 4th more on any hills and overtaking when I had the mod installed, Hope that helps someone. I wouldn’t be bothered again is all I’d say, VW made it the way that seems best to me. Good video though, exactly how I did mine.

Good comment and food for thought. Its not going to be for everyone and especially with the 2.4D as its gutless at the best of times! Completely agree on steep hills carrying a heavy load you may find yourself back in 4th but you would be like this without the mod. A dialed in fuel pump + the 0.622 will be a good fuel saver especially when doing lots of long journeys. Its also nice to not hear the high revs of the engine @ 70mph and you can turn the stereo down a little LOL

Great video, very clear and informative! Just purchased a T4 and will definitely being doing this upgrade. Thank you 👍

Happy days...! You are right it has to be up there with one of the must mods on the T4. What else would you say is just as good or better for a mod?

On my christmas list now lol.

Hello , this change can be made also on 1.9 tdi ALH , my 5th gear has 0.84 ratio wich is quite loud driving on highway . I gues 0.622 is the 6th from other T models , also can be recomanded for my car ? Thank you for tutorial and further answer.

I put a .622 in my 1.9 jetta. Works great.

Thanks for the info

I guess driving about town at 30mph in 5th isn't an option once this has been done? Not a problem as it sits well in 4th but just wondering how that's affected?

Hi, what gear oil grade would you recommend?

@t4mation653

Ideally you need to check manufacture data on what's best. That said i do like to use 10/40 mineral oil on the older more mileage gearbox.

Can you deliver to Poland?
