I see pictures of the stick, and I know n the v6 you can only get the tip.

But can you get the 6spd on the 2.0T in the US?

Nope. When I went on my 09 test drive last week the sales guy said the 2.0 6spd wouldn't be released until next year. Annoying.

Thats ass backwards.

o well the only reason why i could think of is because its easier to throw in and bolt down an automatic tranny that is all together, instead of having the 6spd put in. (altho im sure its simple for them).

Normally a 6pd install is a biiiiitch.

From what I heard, the reason is they don't have a 6 speed ready for the new A4 yet. The driveline is like the A5 now, with the axle shafts in front of the clutch. We were told at new model training the 6 speed SHOULD be available 1st quarter of next year.
