7AT
4.924
3.194
2.043
1.412
1.000
0.862
0.771
3.357 (Final Drive)

6MT
3.794
2.324
1.624
1.271
1.000
0.794
3.692 (Final Drive)

Multiply gears by FD.

7AT
16.530
10.722
6.859
4.740
3.357
2.894
2.588

6MT
14.007
8.580
5.996
4.693
3.692
2.931

6MT (w/ 4.083 FD)
15.491
9.562
6.631
5.189
4.083
3.241

Now look at 7AT vs 6MT w/4.083:
7AT 6MT
16.530 15.491
10.722 9.562
6.859 6.631
4.740 5.189
3.357 4.083
2.894 3.241
2.588

The first 3 gears in a 7AT w/ OEM FD is geared more aggressively than a 6MT even with a 4.083 gear. The top 3 gears favor the 6MT, even without a final drive, the gears are closer. Up to 3rd gear the numerical values favor the 7AT, but the 6MT spans the 4-6 in what the 7AT spans with just 4-5.

I got everything needed for $660 shipped. Buy from them and you'll pay $900+ with shipping.

I will look into our pricing. I attempt to keep our prices as competitive as possible. Thanks for the heads up though. I know it may not benefit you directly, but any comments about this and future price concerns. Please feel free to shoot me a PM, I am always willing to double check prices on our website (bc they do change from time to time) and will work to the best to my ability to price match whenever possible.

if you bothered to read or search the thread you would know that SRM is off by a few hundred RPM as the system is pre-calculated with the factory final drive. With the stock clutch its not very noticeable at all and you wont have any problems*, with a stiffer aftermarket clutch you will likely be so annoyed that you disable it.

*the one issue is going over ~130MPH will cause SRM warning's to appear and the system will disable itself until you turn off the car.

I had just seen on a forum before that it affected the SRM, so I didn't even bother to consider it as a mod.

Little OT here BAQ but how is your experience coupling the Quaife with the 4.08's?

jdonadio · 10-22-2011, 02:59 PM

Has anyone does this on an AT, and where can you find them?
