Yes, I have noticed the same thing, as well. I have a sneakin
suspicion that the transaxle and/or engine may have been swapped out a
some point since there is no upshift indicator in my instrument cluste
and the wiring harness has only the two wires for backup lights (bot
of which have what appear to be the original female spade connection
hanging loose with original crimping as if they were once enclosed in
female plug), apparently for connection to the screw-in two-connecto
switch.

I haven't looked yet (but will in the morning) but a thought occurre
to me at work today, too... Might it be possible that there is anothe
mounting point upon the transaxle for the screw-in type (since the boo
lists two or three locations possible for Rabbits, Scirrocos an
Cabriolets) that was simply plugged when the upshift option indicato
was chosen? Hmm... I shall have to see

Regarding the instrument cluster, I was amazed (and dismayed) at the number
of versions of them - all of which at first glance look exactly alike. Some
have two connectors at the bottom, some have only one, and the connectors
themselves come in different configurations and sizes. Some have upshift
indicators, some do not. The fuel quantity and water temperature gages vary
as to their locations. There are other differences as well. A Cabbie owner
who is looking for an appropriate replacement cluster will be lucky if he
gets the right one.
