Gearbox weights and ratios

Post by sb272 »

Does anyone have info on the weight difference between the 6 speed manual and 6 speed DSG boxes? The ones fitted to the higher torque cars in particular please.

I've found the weight for the DSG which is 93kg but ant find anything on the manual six speed but believe it s around 50kg.

I'm also interested in seeing either the gear and diff ratios or the mph / 1000 rpm for manual and DSG. I'm most interested in the differences between the two boxes fitted to the R. It would also be good to know if the box types used in the GTs are different to each other and to the R?

I've got the weight for the high torque six speed and it's 49kg so DSG cars have a 44kg weight penalty - just over the difference a full tank of fuel makes.
