Trans Trouble, help!
My 2003 AR has an interesting trans. I have an '01 A6 with the 2.7T motor, and I presume, the same transmission? Anyway, when I'm on the interstate at a 65/70 mph cruise, the trans is saying that I'm in 5th, but oddly, the motor is still turning at roughly 3k rpm. That just seems way too high, given that the A6 turns about 2,400/2,600 at the same mph. Any thoughts? This is killing my mileage also, roughly 15%.

I wouldnt automatically assume that the trans is the same in both cars. In fact I would be surprised if the gearing is the same, but idk. So that would be one thing to check. Also, since the problem is really with the AR, you need to ask someone else with an AR what RPMs they see at the same speed.
