Let's gets some information sped around while we all still have the brain cells on this kinda stuff.
Recently learned: an O1E 5 speed can have a 6th gear added into the case with just the simple acquiring of the gear itself.
All O1E ' s reverse is in the same spot as most mk1 - mk3 vws as a dead give away.
All 2000 and newer 6 speeds are 01E, also euro spec
Anyone out there with euro gear info weight in.

Re: O1E discuss
The early O1E's in the UR cars had problems with first gear making noise and sometimes going out. I believe mid '93 they fixed this issue. I had no idea you could add a sixth gear to these!!

Re: O1E discuss
No Wes they didn't put one in a mk1- mk3 car. The O1E ' s reverse is in the same sspot though as a 020. Down left then forward. I know the newer passats run a trans similar to an O1E, 01X may be the code. The casings for all 01E ' s also are the same with some even have a oil cooler
