    Might be getting a 06 Jetta, pretty excited about it. I'm thinking about future plans for it, its an automatic, I'd like to do a 6 speed swap to it if possible. Anyone have any information about how to do that? Also, replacing the headliner how do I do that? Thanks Vortex

    6 speed swap would mean an engine swap also. Or you can get a tt rs awd swap

    An Automatic WHAT?
    6 speed DSG, or a bare bones 2.5 Auto?
