Thinking about an allroad

[NIck Miller]

I don't think they have a "high/Low" setting, but maybe you mean a low or
over-drive like gear for cruising. Audi 01E
6spd<http://www.elektro.com/%7Eaudi/01E/>
As far as that box goes, this is the one, and I beleive you'll find the DQT
in this list is the one with a ridiculously low 6th gear.  Its only found in
the diesels however, so its rare to get ahold of but its the same gearbox
aside from the gearing.   Its the unit with a .56 end ratio.  Also note the
rear would have to change in the Allroad as its 4.375 or so.

Scott erm, something, can tell you more, I think he is @ advanced
automotion.
