I think You misunderstood the question it was what's the rpm on manual D2 S8 in 6th gear?
I think Mick's reply is for 5 speed auto D2 and PsYcHe's for 6 speed D3 auto and 5 speed D2 auto |

total gear ratios (top gear x final drive) for 1997 S8 are
auto 5th gear 0.804 x 3.726=2.996 manual 6th gear 0.730 x 4.111=3.000 So 6th gear in manual is almost the same as 5th in auto If you want lower gear ratios for fuel economy you can go for box from A6 2.5TDI DQT,FTF- 2.306 EKM, FTL- 2.182 There are several other options with overall gear ratios in 6th gear 2.625; 2.813; 3.000; 3.193; from 2.5TDI, 2.7T and 4.2 A6/S6 and allroad 01E gearboxes |

I think the S8 auto FL final drive ratio is 4.111, check on ElsaWin.
Also, mine for some reason revs at 2780 at 70mph (gps reading)? Could be the tyres, 2.12m circumference. Although as per equation Revs = kph * 4.111 * 0.804 / (0.06 * 2.12) Revs = 2925 ? |

Hope you get better John, glad you sold it to fellow enthusiasts. I was trying to figure out where I could keep a second S8, but just not enough space on my tiny drive for two.
