Default Absurd tranny question...

i am about to get a new(used)allroad and am leaning towards the tip. however i have heard that a torque increase over 320lb is not reccomended. Theoretically, could a RS6 transmission be dropped in an allroad or is there a way to increase the strength of the stock transmission? or is this all absurd and i should just hold out on a 6speed? I would like to get the Tip if at all possible but if it wont handle the extra power......

Default Yup - absurd - get a 6 speed

I got the tip b/c its my wife's daily driver. Even though I only get to drive the car on weekends, I really hate the tip. It sucks on so many levels.

If your thinking of putting the RS6 trans in you might as well put in the motor. Problem solved.

Default An Alternative?

Hey Speed Limit,

I believe level10 ( http://levelten.com ) tweaks the TIPs for higher HP for the A4 guys (I heard A4 parts run about $1200). The AR work is custom and I don't think it's listed on their webpage so you may need to give them a call. I did find a post regarding costs

Hope this helps!
Gavin

Default Re: An Alternative? - More info...

Below is an excerpt from a post I found: https://forums.audiworld.com/s4/msgs/1511082.phtml

"$2,650 - Spare Trans (Reclaimed on sale of stock trans.)
$ 175 - Freight to Level10 (CA -> NJ)
$4,400 - Level10 Work (Valve bodies, Torque Convertor, Clutch Bands, etc.)

Return freight to California is included in the cost of the Level10 work."

Good luck and keep us posted!
