2-1.999:1
3-1.407:1
4-1.000:1
5-0.742:1
R-4.096:1
FD-3.091:1
they make chips for the transmission to speed the shifts up to 1/5 the time of what a stock transmission takes to shift |

Tiptronic or manually shifted torque convertered automatic? Tiptronic is a manumatic (manual internals automatically shifted with manual tap shift buttons) and has a clutch. DSG transmisions are the newest "tiptronic" transmissions, with an automatic dual clutch.
EDIT: My bad, did a little wiki search (YAY WIKI) and it does encompass manually shifted torque convertered automatics :P.
I would definately get a new chip though, cause those use a fuzzy logic on shifting, and can get annoying when using manual mode. I would get a chip that follows exactly when you shift is when it shifts.[This message has been edited by Racing_Master (edited 07-08-2012).]

the tiptronic that i am talking about is a automatic trans with a manual shift mode I think i will like it all right as long as i put a chip in to speed up the shift and makes it full manual when in the manual mode

Well after just getting a email from Chet W on the 7165 ecu i will be using the stock Audi A8 ecu and a tiptronic 5 speed transmission due to it would be over $800 more to go with the standard trans [This message has been edited by engine man (edited 07-08-2012).]

Length? Resplining the Audi axles to the Fiero spline? [This message has been edited by Will (edited 07-11-2012).]

I cant remember off the top of my head for sure but i think it was 24 inches and the passat axles where just the right length due to the passat and fiero have close to the same track width . tomorrow i should have the engine out i have the day off i just hope the 2 back cradle bolts don't fight me . yes VW to fiero spline since the transmission stuff is from a VW passat [This message has been edited by engine man (edited 07-11-2012).]
