RE: [VWoT] Anybody?



I am not sure what the difference with gas mileage is between the two
transmissions or what the gearing difference is. That automatic seems like a
good one because it can be serviced easily (therefore more often). Mine
seems to be geared similarly to a MK3 2.0L, just like my A4 1.8TQ was as
well. I wish it revved a little less on the highway but it's ok. Maybe I can
swap in a STI transmission with a 6 speed and the differential control too
:)

Yes, I'm aware of the difference with the auto tranny.  Not my first 
choice but it's my wife's car.  Seems to work well though.  I've 
climbed a few large snowbanks with it no prob :)  Has lots of traction 
during snow storms as well.  You think it would get worse gas mileage 
with the manual?
