6-speed manual gearbox
3 shafts
The triple-shaft design permits a space-saving
and highly compact design.
A distinction is made between two gearbox
variants, the variant for vehicles with front-
wheel drive and the variant for vehicles with
four-wheel drive (quattro). Both variants differ
from one another as regards their attachment
points and oil penetration points.
