A4 automatic 3.42 rear end
Is there any difference between an A4 or 6 speed when chosing a rear end gear set. Complete pod assembly. Should I be concerned ? :confused: :cheers: :seeya

Save a few install $$$ by installing a SY 3500 at the same time. :yesnod:
Since GM offers a 'performance axle' option, I never understood why they don't use the 3.42 instead. :confused:

A SY3500 is a perfect streetconverter.
SY3500 + 3.42 and you will not believe that you are sitting in the same car as bevore the changes!!

Sully C5---Good thought, & many of us A4 people would buy this in a heart beat, but, it's all about CAFE miles per gallon corporate Gov't mileage results. The General could do this IF they wanted---But they never will....We are lucky to get the 3.15 gears, let alone 3.42 gears....Regards.
