MPH in each gear

**p.tony** · 05-09-2008 09:22 PM

I was driving my lil bro's 04 A4 1.8t, supersport, 6 speed, bone stock. Curious to see what it had i pushed it a bit. I realized i was doing 80 in third and if i remember correctly i cant do that in the A6 2.7t. Is there something im missing? My instrument cluster is slowly dying on me and maybe that has something to do with it. So if you could give me an estimate on the following correlations id appreciate it.

1st= ? mph
2nd= ? mph
3rd= ? mph
4th= ? mph
5th= ? mph
6th= ? mph

1st to 32
2nd to 67
3rd to 90
4th to 125ish
5th... top speed

Cluster must be going... I can easily do 80 in 3rd. Cant remember what I tach maybe 5g's. I post back tommorrow evening I have a bit of a freeway stretch tommorrow.

Yeah I just took my car out just to see after reading this post. It's an 02 A6 2.7t 6 speed. In third it easily pushed up to 90 and seemed like it had a little bit more to go.

thanks for the replies. Im gonna ride along someone to see if even the mph are accurate. I know for sure the RPMs are off. I guess the next step is a dealer estimate for replacement.
