It's a USA import so I thought it might have a mountain gearbox. But it has a CO code? So it's normal. Could be contaminated clutch plate but it pulls up hills and it doesn't feel like it's slipping. The AM gearbox is an  unknown  quantity where my gearbox changes well. is it possible to  swap the final drive from the beetle as this will help top speed. I'm not greedy 60 would be bliss and keep me out the way of the HGV's</blockquote>
