Ow that’s nice those are not to uncommon I actually found a c5 s6 box that should work right? Also found a cheap ish rs6 auto diff and that is listed as 37:9 which i think is a 4.111 diff right? I know the guy with rs6 engine in his s8 here in Sweden is using tdi box with rs6 diff

2.8 afaik was only 5 speed. The 3.0 does appear to have come with the 01E, but I've never seen one so may be a Euro market thing again. No idea what the ratios on that would be like.

The reason to use the TDI stuff is that its slightly stronger and used to be very cheap. The high 6th looked like a good thing until I drove it and realised it wasn't.
