Damn, why couldn't this be for a manual =(

This is the 2.56 drive ratio?

John_01 · 05-16-2013, 09:46 PM

I think the Steptronic is 3.46 ratio. Not the same as DCT 2.56.

huh i didn't know there was a proper OEM 2.56. that's cool!

3.46 is correct though, 6MT being 3.08

Hi peter, is it possible for a 6mt 135 to use the shorter ratio 6at diff? Say if they bought a 6at drive shaft that was just lying around at advan, would fit easily?

From experience, the shorter ratio is a much better option than stock. Mine is 3.85 and it is perfect for 6at.

Correct 3.46 it is

Yes it can be done BUT the auto uses the smaller diff and it would fail with the manual trans.

I spoke to Peter asking a similar thing but he said that the 6AT diff is a lightweight version and probably wouldn't be appropriate for a high powered manual car. I believe they also have a much smaller diff housing as a result.
