CEG is the same ratios as an 8P which is the common 5 speed CL box found on mk2 and 3 polos. CEG generally came on later mk3 polos. It's probably about the closest you can get to G40 ratios.

Doesn't the CEG have a longer driver's side output flange compared to the 8P and ATV though? So if replacing an ATV with CEG, the shorter CEG driver's side driveshaft will have to be used or the output flange swapped?
