RE: clutchs

go with what you think is best if you have an opinion, if you don't don't worry about it

RE: clutchs

i would go with what chaos said.... the s4 tranny would be harder and i think the 2.8 will do fine

im curious too as to how annoying it is to swap the 1.8 out with a 2.8 tranny. It seems like it's just mainly the gears you need to deal with.

RE: clutchs

its very practical and lots of guys with 1.8T's have made the swap. the ONLY thing you have to even change is the tranny mounts. reason why guys do this is because the 2.8 tranny has taller gears, which means better mpg and slightly faster acceleration
