Its been a while, still driving my V8 car. Just wondering about a Tiptronic ? I see thy are controlled by a computer but they are just solenoids and couldn't one just manually work the shifting ? I'm asking the questions because it would be so so so nice to just push a switch LOL.
I don't even know how long the transmission is and would expect it to be a bit longer than my 930.
Again would hold the torque of my 350? I guess it would the way I drive most of the time LOL. I love my car but a switch would be nicer.
OK what are your thoughts ?

Audi/VW tiptronic FWD trani from the A4/A6/Passat would be a complete bolt in situation. I believe the tiptronic controls are separate from the ECU.

Should hold the tq of your v8 if its ~ 350, but it would be better suited if you dropped in the 2.8L v6 as well. (And everything would be built to run perfectly together, aka gearing, ecu, better mpg, ect)

Personally I think that it would be a killer setup in the 914 and I would have already had it underway if I didnt have budget issues.
