As most of you will know. I'm running a fwd apu engine 1.8t. My question is, what 6spd box (if any) would fit, and what other bits would be needed? (linkages etc)
Thanks all.
Thanks all.
Will heed your advice, it just seems that 3-4k on the motorway is a bit excessive, was hoping to get down to nearer 2-2.5k
Or over 30mph, Id rather get a moped for good fuel than a diesel automatic.... could you imagine how boring to drive they'd be!! lolGet a diesel.
IF you get a auto you'll very really see over 3k.

you could swap it out but its a big job, my mate done a bmw e30 estate he bought and it was alot of work.. i had a 330ci steptronic before i bought my s3 and being auto that thing was herrendous on fuel!! litteraly £20 ever time you drove it anywhere... althoughit was nice in traffic etc i missed having a clutch..Mine seems to be ok and quick enough to get me to 75, flick cruise on and relax.
It will do over a ton easily if needed.
I wonder if I could fitter a newer 5speed box to it, make it even more boring and better MPG.

P.S i didnt mean to offened you if thats how it sounded
did they not do one in them then? anythings possible.... stick an s8 step in itNahh it's cool. im just very protective of her
I'd never lose the auto box but I would like a 5 speed tronic box.
me too... and then i find it hahaI didnt find it that bad for cruising, it was just off boost at 70 but drop down and off she went. It was never meant to be used as a gear for anything bar cruising. I find myself reaching for 6th all the time in the TQS
the TQS 5th is shorter than a standard 1.8T FWD though.
3500rpm is ~80 in a TQS, but in a FWD its closer to 3k.
jcb: For a TQS you can use a 2.8 V6 box to lengthen out the gears a bit.
I have graphs of the various gearing if people want to see it visually?
