With the WK1 (had one too) the problem was at highway speeds the engine would be at around 3.5k rpms but that was fixed on the early WK2s by changing the rear end ratio instead off adding tranny gears as on the 2014. This made the WK2 marginally faster than the WK1 plus you still feel it's still missing some gearing.
The trans is strong, just an obsolete design considering the amount of money you're paying. Other than that, I don't think you'll be disappointed.
