Gears And Re-calibration???

I Am Interested In Putting Some Different Gears In My Car, Will I Have To Re-calibrate The Spedo Or Will The Wheel Speed Sensors Change It On It's Own. Please Help.

Computer must be reprogrammed manually.It will not adjust itself automatically. Otherwise your speedometer, etc will be off.

Could You Explain How To Manually Do It Or Do I Need To Purchase A Programmer?

I meant manually by pressing buttons on a Hypertech or going to a tuner to change the data in the computer.

If you have an A4 and change gears will the transmission be messed up in shift points? I'm looking at a gear swap but wanted to wait on my reprogramming until some of my larger mods were done.

I changed mine with LSedit. Plugged it in, uploaded it to the computer, made the gear change and resaved it, then uploaded it to the car. Maybe took 20min and thats because the uploads were slow.
