Romulus Donating Members 1,279 Member For: 20y 2m 6d Location: Perth Posted 31/12/05 10:30 AM Share Posted 31/12/05 10:30 AM I chose the 6-speed manual for it's ability to hold huge amounts of torque. Sure, I've had to upgrade to a stage 4 Mal Wood clutch kit, but other than that, the manual shifts great.I'd be dubious about the 6-speed auto's ability to hold on to 350-400rwkw for prolonged periods of time. However, the A6 does shift wonderful. I test drove a XR6T A6 some 4-6 weeks ago and was really impressed.Probably a great trans for everyday driving, but not for a highly modded T imo.

Guest XR666TURBO Guests Posted 01/01/06 07:00 AM Share Posted 01/01/06 07:00 AM hahaha yeah, I saw the 2 Typhoons. Both looked very sexy! As for the 2 tranny's. Well I am a lazy , however I do want to be able to take anyone on if the opportunity arises. Which it will, considering Townsville is full of "Fast & The Furious" wannabe's. I'm not looking to add any mod's to it, well not any time soon anyways. Maybe a few years down the track, but then again, I'd probably also just trade it in for an upgrade. I'm not mechanically minded what so ever.Thanks for your kind words too TOXICT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say in a years time at most you'll hardly use the tip tronic because theres no point its an auto! You know there's nothing like a manual when it comes to performance cars!

If you get a good Manual then your lucky, but you can be really unlucky and score a bad one then your happiness may not last for long.I have driven the six speed auto and would think that there would be little difference in speed between to the two. The autos are always easier to mod to specially now with this higher rated box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
