The 722.6 has turned out to be a reather reliable transmission. There were a few teething problems and a few that saw premture failure, but there are aslo many that have seen a very long life.

I beleive that there are two gear ratio versions of this transmission. My car has the "W5A580" version. Rated for 580 Nm of torque with 5 forward gears and two reverse gears.
On my car gear ratios are
1 3.59
2 2.19
3 1.41
4 1.00
5 .83


I believe your car has the "W5A380" version rated for 380 Nm of torque and slightly different gear ratios. I think you probably have a shorter first and second gear at the least.


Yes larger wheels will fit with a shorter sidewall, obviously.
