Default Which Gears???
I have a 98 Coupe A4 and am trying to figure out which gears are in it now, as I may upgrade. Can anyone point me in the right direction for where that info would be.
Thanks in advance

I swapped my 2.73's for 3.42's over Xmas and have had the permanent smile effect! Those and some more HP and you're good to go!

3.42s are IMO the perfect gear for the A4. Won't kill your gas mileage and will give you a big improvement in performance.
