My ECOdiesel Jettas had a 4.25:1 differential

I think we are saying the same thing but using different terms. To achieve a speed of 70 mph a 247 gear will require an engine to produce an rpm of 2750. With a 3.07 gear a speed of 70 mph would be produced at an rpm a little lower than 2700.

If that is true then I certainly prefer to change the yoke and keep the SE's differential. What part of the FSM will cover this specific project?
