You'd get better performance gains by swapping to a higher stall TC. I'd recommend a Yank 3200 or 3600. It's been shown that there is minimal, if any, difference in 1/4 mile times between a 2.56 and 3.42 gears, but a significant difference between a stock and higher stall TC. The bonus is that fuel consumption remains unchanged for most driving.

I've always read not much point in doing gears on the a6's, like HOXXOH said, money better spent on a convertor.

It's true what's been said. Expressed purely in numbers not much quicker with gears but seat of the pants feeling from any acceleration is uncomparable with 2.56 or 2.73. Even that alone can be a reason to change as in my case.

Sometimes that's more fun than "numbers".
