The S3 'boxes have syncromesh on all forword gears. This makes them weaker but easier to use than "dog box" types
But means that if you don't double-de-clutch the IIa box wears out remarkably quickly.

And if you do double declutch and have odd seats then you get premature wear to the knee...like wot I got :-(
But the good news is then you have a good excuse to build your own Percy :-)
