Adding TSX 6th gear to A3 tranny

[oldschoolimport]

part of mine is probably due to my work being 2 miles away, the car hardly gets out of closed-loop, and it runs pig rich while in closed-loop. oh well. I only drive about 8-9k per year.

Okay my head hurts!!! what are the advantages of adding the tsx 6th gear to the a3 five speed? i mean yeah you get a lil better mileage but your first five gears are spread apart. Since its almost 500 bucks before labor how come just not swap to a rsx 6 speed its like 100 rpm difference in 6th gear at 80 right?

[powdbyrice]

EP 5th gear = rsx-s 6th gear.

EP 5th gear = rsx-s 6th gear.

I was reffering to swaping whole tranny's since i would have to pay someone to do the work and the parts are 500 bucks?

i am assuming you are asking if there is a difference between our cases and the 05-up cases (transmissions from the z1's and z3's)? if so that link should help. :thumb:

so is that thread about rebuilding a 6 speed w/ a tsx 6th gear or adding a tsx 6th to a 5 speed?

is it the same process?
