i wish i could put them side by side but oh well..here it is, also compared the 2.8s.. but all in all, just get a 2.8 tranny. easier to bolt up and it has 6% taller gears than the 1.8t tranny..

after trying repeatedly i could not get the 1.8t graph to take.. i don't know what the problem is with it so this is as good as you get i guess

1.8t tranny redlines(7200rpm) at ~36, ~63, ~96, ~134, and ~136

I did notice that I am limited on topspeed because of my gearing so I just might think about the 2.8 tranny in the future.

B5 A4's never came with 6 speeds. The chart above with the 6 speed is from an S4.

Thats what i thought.

"maybe cuz the 18's came with a 5 speed? want 6 buy a 2.8 or a 2.7t " -18T

What does the 1.8T do for speed at 3000 rpms?
