Transmission

S tronic
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
10 10
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
lever or steering wheel shift-paddles. The choice is yours.
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.
