Default Question on Performance Rear End ...A4

Need your help out here on the performance rear end. If an automatic goes from the 2.73 to the 3.15, will the speedometer gear in the transmission need to be changed or is it accomplished via the PCM programming?

Thanks for your help

I believe the dealer can program it for you since 3.15's are available on A4's - or a HPPIII

I just went from 2.73 to the 3.42 PCM took care of speedometer without a new program. (Must have re-learned) I did however need a programmer to adjust shift points and convertor lock-up. Hope this helps.

No need for programming on any gear change for the speedo Shift points though will need to be adjsuted. The Corvette has the speed sensor reading off the axle, not the driveshaft.
