I am going to give them a call and get the scoop on RS6 stuff, but was wondering if anyone here has gotten their tranny done by them?

I hear it can hold 800hp/tq with the robust rebuild and may include a way to mildly launch the car at say 3000 rpm? Any other first hand info on this?

Wondering if any of you guys have gone wild with your RS6 and maybe gotten some hp figures that I am not aware of.... anyone above 600hp?

Thank you for all the info. I will post up more information as I get it as well.

Here is a picture of a RS6 we frequently service. Moves pretty well for just software.

What is a Level 10 Tranny?

to do a ZF rebuild for the RS6 version of the tranny.<ul><li><a href="http://www.2bennett.com/">http://www.2bennett.com/</a</li></ul>

you guys have on there. I love them all. Do you guys lease at all?

As to your post, including the Euro folks, I don't know of anyone who has taken this RS beyond 580hp. Once the warranties begin to expire, you'll see lots of tinkering.

I'm not sure what a lvl 10 tranny is, but as I understand the issue around increased hp/torque, the tranny is not really the RS's problem.

The US clutch plates are. The Euro spec plates are more durable and able to handle the excessive force, but provide a harsher shifting experience/ride. Someone at Audi thought that we in the US would not like the harsher ride, so they replaced the plate with a softer one that fails with the added strain of modding.

I wish there was a way to totally convert everything to make this car able to handle the modding.

I thought someone on rs6dotcom had a Level 10 done to his RS6 trans.

The Stage III tiptronic guys on the B5 S4 use them (or an equivalent company like 3zero3, etc.) to handle torque levels well beyond 450 lb/ft. Even though ZF published the limit on the B5 S4 ZF tranny to be 300 lb/ft of torque (stock B5 S4 is 258 lb/ft), there have been people running their S4s for years above that level (over two years running ~365 lb/ft myself) so it has been assumed that ZF was conservative with this value for this transmission. I didn't use Level10 primarily because of reliability problems regarding their work (STFA on the B5 S4 forum).

I've stated on this board before - I would not chip the RS6 unless either (1) the transmission was fortified or replaced altogether (new A8 W12 tranny) and/or (2) more cooling is in place (i.e. Sportec RS6 tranny cooler package). Both of those options are expensive. The RS6+ itself threw in two extra radiators just to add 30 more hp and *no* increase in torque levels. How much more for a chip which usually adds 50 hp and close to 100 lb/ft of torque? Personally, I think it is irresponsible for tuners to not provide the necessary reliability mods that come with performance mods.<ul><li><a href="http://www.levelten.com/">Level10</a></li></ul>

Clutch A is active in 1-2-3-4 gears and it is just not up to the torque. It will crack the lip off and it will slip. If you can make a stronger housing/basket the tranny would hold much more torque. The problem, there is not much room in there. There is another piece goes in there.

Nope, we don't lease the cars, sorry. Thank you for the insight on the clutch plates.
