easiest way to know your gearbox type

[dansansome]

i just wondered if there is an easy way to identify which gearbox type your car has? mine is an a4 cabriolet 2003, bfb engine.

should it be in your car documents somewhere? or do i need to look for a label in the engine bay or something?

many thanks :)

If it has a clutch - it's a manual

If it doesn't - it's an auto

You're welcome :D

On the knob in the middle of the car, count to 5 - 5 speed, count to 6 -6 speed:biglaugh:

Sticker in spare wheel bay normally. Three letter code like the engine but as far as I know, the engine one will start with the letter A.

checked it, and realised its the same sticker as the one in the service book :Blush2:

apparently i have a GDT gearbox.

oh, and its a 5 speed manual (with 1 reverse gear) :D

thanks again padwick, sam and hex69 ;)
