Hi guys,

Thank you all for voting in my previous thread on selecting the right car.

I have made up my mind on the Evo 10.

Initially, I would have wanted a manual.

However, my parents want me to get the semi-auto. They think its better to drive and will have better resale value.

If you were getting the evo x, which transmission would you get?

Please place your votes above.

Luv u guys.

Dr Dan

yeh i think their semi-auto box is like the vws and audis, DSG, you can hardly feel the shifts but its an awsome drive. Id say semi auto but then if you wanted to take it to the track maybe a manual?

edit: good choice on the car btw :P

its not an auto, its a dgs... ie clutchless manual. when in auto mode it uses shift logic, when in "manual" mode it should not change at all unless you tell it to engage.

google DSG for indepth information.

If it is a road car then the DSG gearbox is far more superior than a manual.

If you plan to track or rally the car then a manual will be a better choice.

Listen to your parents, they are correct and if there is any problem, it has a 5 year warranty.

How do you guys find the DSG transmission in the Audi/VWs?

I have never driven one before.

Also, if I were to sell the evo in future, which would sell better? DSG or 5spd manual?

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
