6 speed gearbox

I think the diseasal 6 speed has different ratios to the AUQ box though, Rhyso??

either way 1st two ratios are too short or could it be all the torque i have

Yeah, the masses of torque you have won't help!!

The only benefit of it I can see, is lower motorway cruising revs/slightly better mpg.  You'd have to do an awful lot of miles for the conversion to pay itself back, though.

interestingly a mate of mine owned an A4 TDI 130 with a 5 speed box and i noticed that at 70mph in 5th his sat at 2000rpm exactly the same as mine in 6th

anyhoo - to try and get back on track - look out for crashed Leon Cupra's - i think they use the same 6 speed box
