Question

stock gear question

I have a 2000 TA A4. My door sticker is not on my car any longer and i was wanting to know if there is any other way to tell whether i have the 2.73's or the 3.25's?? Maybe MPH/RPM?? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks ahead of time guys.

at 60mph....

With 2.73s you should be around 1500rpm
With 3.23s you should be around 1800rpm

I would call a dealer and give him your VIN. They will be able to tell you your gears. I think the 2000 TAs only came with the 3.23s in th A4s though.

Yeah, but once you hit about 100 mph...

I just changed my car to 3.42 gears (was 2.73), and I miss that top end on the highway.

Kind of a give/take thing.
