Damn, I want a 2.8 tranny. I really want a S4 tranny, but that may be more work and money than I'm willing to put in.

I'm not 100% sure (hopefully Sean can verify this), but you also use a 1.8t flywheel and clutch for the swap.

yup, 1.8t clutch in a 2.8tranny works out fine.

it works out perfectly since the 1.8T and2.8 both use a 01A trans housing

can you tell the difference in transmissions? neither can i

can you use a 1.8t clutch with a 2.8 engine/trans though? (I assume so)

i take it the gearing is a bit longer? so the rpm's at 80mph drop compared to the 1.8t tranny?

around 200-300rpms.. nothing out of this world. but it's a bit better for cruising..

on the downside, your car will feel less peppier, especially in first giear, due to the taller gearing
