I was wondering what you would need to switch in your car besides the transmission and putting a pedal in if you changed a automatic tiptronic to a manual? If I didn"t want to sell my car and get a manual.

 

enough things to make buying a manual and selling your auto a better option

 

If you have $5,000 to spend on swapping the transmission, do it. Otherwise don't.


Thread over.

 

Okay forget it thanks.

 

Have you ever heard of level 10 for an automatic tiptronic upgrade so I can put a bigger turbo in than a K04 has anybody done this?

 

Level 10 upgrade is the only way to go, yes. But, it makes for a very hard shifts, enough to mess with your driving experience. Just buy/sell/trade and get a manual.

 

the tip tranny is stronger than people give it credit for. some guy on audizine is running a 71r elim (close to 300whp) on his tip tranny and its been holding up fine.

gtrs on a tip

 

Brian, the guy's already having problems with his tranny and it's only been what, a couple of months? He said he definitely feels the tranny starting to degrade.

I'm not saying tips are **** (I drive a tip, tyvm) I'm just saying they're not the kind of transmission you want if you're going to throw a Stage 19308510385901835+++ turbo on it.

 

oh really? didn't read the entire thing through. but i was just looking into ZF (company who makes our trannies) and found this info out

which means the FWD tip tannies can only handle 228 ft lbs of torque but the Quattro trannies can handle 310.

a 71r elim might be a bit much for the tip tranny but a gtrs shouldn't be a problem. spend an extra 800 for a lvl 10 valve body for extra peace of mind if u want
