[s-cars] 5 spd 1st gear noise issue - some interesting

[Tom Green]

I suspect this DPM Canadian unit is a direct bolt on without pro-ten  
cables also.  I just wondered about gear ratios, since Charlies site  
matches it to a 2.5 diesel, despite the ad describing a '97 S6.  A 6  
spd with a tall top gear sounds great, but a 5 spd would be pushing  
drivability.

Tom '95 S6
