[djdougalno1]

can any one tell me if these gearboxes are the same also do u think the driveshafts would also be the same a3 quattro turbo sport and an s3

I would be interested to know 2, I have heard its the same but not sure, apparently the dual-mass clutch & fly wheel are simillar as well.

ive got 5 speed fitted in car at the moment but got a six speed out of tt to put in thought they should be the same cause when my road speed sensor failed audi kept giving me a 5 speed one witch didnt fit was to small it ended up beein a six speed one i needed also the starter motor was a six speed one i needed but the gearbox only has five gears so do u think it should fit

I've got a 6 speed S3 box for sale out of a w reg £200 if anyone wants one complete with transfer box

did they even do a a3 quattro with a 5speed box? i thought all quattro's a3, s3 and tt were 6speed boxes?

 

[djdougalno1]

mines defo a five speed but its in a 6 speed case for some reason

Not sure but will ask the garage tomorrow as I have just had my S3 gearbox replaced, due to no 1st and 2nd gear.

 

[mat20vt]

my a3 quattro is 5speed. its a 6speed box minus the 6th gear

 

[djdougalno1]

dose that mean the driveshafts wouldbe the same also

 

[marcyp]

dose that mean you 5speed lot can hit 60 in 2nd then, or have they lost the top end?

 

[badger5]

why do you want to change the drive shafts tho?
they should just bolt up from 5sp car onto 6spd box,

S3 shafts are going to be longer I think as their wishbones are wider slightly.
