Just a question for the Audi users. How "in demand" are the 3U transaxles in the US? The reason that I ask is that I'm in the UK and am happy to have a look around for guys if there is enough interest.
For those who don't know, here is some ratio info (calcs based on 295/50R15 tyres):
3U: 3.89 Diff, 6500rpm=207mph or 70mph=2201rpm
BMO/WB/UV/MO/MR: 3.89 Diff, 6500rpm=195mph or 70mph=2338rpm
APN/4V/5V/APP: 4.11 Diff, 6500rpm=196mph or 70mph=2325rpm
Because all Audi tranny's have the 3.6 first gear, the 4.11 Diff gives an even worse 1st gear ratio than the others so is probably least desirable of the three groups above.
Anyway, if there is any interest, I could do some looking around.
