The 6 gear in my tdi is great. By now means it sucks? What makes you
think it sucks?
 

They use the multitronic in the Audis. I don't like it either.
 

Possibly.

The DSG box is designed for transverse engines only hence it will *only* go
onto the new Golf/A3/Touran platform. Give them some time as I understand
the DSG will eventually be availble on all VW/Audi/Skoda/Seat.

Dear Wolfgang,

While I agree Audi's manual gearboxes are not bad, the problem with them is
they're not good either. They're slow and sticky by comparison to BMW's, and
much worse than those in any Jap car. Maybe the problem is the rest of the
car is so very much better.

It is not too difficult to miss up-gears from 4th into 5th with 3rd, if
you're not revving further up than 3,000 rpm, for example. Inserting 2nd
gear with a cold engine is also notoriously bad, as you'll be able to read
in Audiworld forums.

In fact, if I had to rate two bad things about my A4 1.8T Q, they would be
its gear box and its excessive weight.

Never meant to disappoint you, however.

Cheers,

JP

Have to disagree, at least the newer 6-gear-boxes are much nicer than
BMW's. Gears go in and out without problems. Older gearboxes might have
been worse, true.

Mine is the old 5-gear one, so you might be right, but magazines keep
ranting about competition being better, although I don't believe all that
they say in magazines, either.

Well, I've also read a lot of positive about this new box, so there's a
bit of different taste too in the reviews
