Transmission
Audi offers two transmission options to suit your requirements
and driving style. In addition to the classic manual gearbox is an
innovative, semi-automatic transmission. To help you come to
an informed decision, each of these is described in detail below.
S tronic (6-speed)
The revolutionary S tronic gearbox combines the agility
and responsiveness of a conventional 6-speed manual gearbox
with the convenience and smooth, uninterrupted power of an
automatic transmission. The technical basis of the S tronic
gearbox is the double clutch. This consists of two lubricated
plates with hydraulically-regulated contact pressure. One
engages the odd-numbered, the other the even-numbered
gears, enabling gear-shifts to be made in a fraction of a second,
with no disruption to the power flow. Depending on how the
mood takes you, you can either allow gear changes to take
place automatically or, for a sportier driving style, operate
the S tronic system using the gear-shift paddles on the
steering wheel.
Short-shift manual transmission
For fast, crisp gear changes in a sporty, manual set-up, you
can choose to specify your Audi TT with short-shift manual
transmission. This simple yet effective gear-change pattern
means that the gearstick has a shorter distance to travel
between each shift-gate, minimising the effort you have to
make with each up or down-shift, whilst maximising your
driving enjoyment.
