I wonder why the manual trans front axles have two CV joints but the auto axles have one CV and..
one tripod joint.
It is a lot less messy when installing the trans without the half disassembled CV with grease everywhere getting in the way.

Both auto and manual trans front axles have inner & outer CV joints....
The auto version is just a different CV joint design than the manual version.

Plausible... the A6 auto is made by ZF, S car manuals are Getrag.
I assume the manual box on the non-S cars is a (different) Getrag also though I've never actually seen one.
