Raimund,

Are you using Thomas Hahn's Tiptronic modification to make that tranny spin
the correct direction?  I looked at that gear set the last time I was in
Germany, pretty cool but pretty pricey.

Cheers,

Jeff

The tiptronics are electronically controlled and depend on their
respective engine ECUs. So the Tiptronics only work with a 911 engine.
Happy converting :-)

I am finishing my Vanagon conversion (Audi V6 TDI Tiptronic) at the
monment.
You can see a photo album on my old website
http://kfz.freepage.de/rfeussner, where the V6 gas conversion is no
longer uptodate.
