  • Join me on this 3-part series where I evaluate all 3 transmission types to help you figure out what transmission is the best for you.
    In each video, I will drive a different Audi R8 with 3 different transmissions and highlight:
    The defining traits each transmission has
    Challenges and any shortcomings for the specific transmission type
    And hear what the owners think about operating their transmission
    In this episode, we review the R-Tronic, which is an automated manual transmission made by Graziano with the codename: L140
    Thanks to ‪@TheConorMLife‬for letting me drive your car!

    If he wants a tcu tune VF is the way 2 go that tune is close to a dual clutch as a tune can get even better if he does a ecu tune as well

    I have a 2008 R8 V8 with the R-tronic and I have an issue with my gearbox. When I shift from 2nd to 3rd in manual mode, I hear a clunking noise from the gearbox. Its almost every time if I shift in low rpms (2000-3000) but when I shift at higher rpms, the clunking noise almost disappears. Whats your experience on noises from the gearbox?

      The gearbox should not “clunk” at any rpm range. I would check the transmission mounts first. If they are okay, then the clunk may be related to the throw out bearing.
