Clutch and gearbox rating

[Pappa583]

Remap booked in but been thinking about clutch and gearbox limits, what's the max torque the standard clutch is rated for and even the 8 speed zf gearbox?

 

Wanna make sure i keep well below their limits

No clutch to worry about it’s an automatic so has a torque converter. Depending on what engine variant you have ie 215bhp/272bhp then your existing torque will be 500nm or 600nm. Has the remap place quoted any bhp and torque figures? The SQ7 gearbox is rated at 1000nm. Not sure if it’s the same gearbox but if not it’s probably the 8HP70 which is rated at 700nm. If you can find out what variant is in yours (by either ringing Audi or doing a parts check using your reg) then the last numbers are the torque rating. ie ZF8HP55 = 550nm , ZF8HP70 = 700nm , ZF8HP90 = 900nm for a petrol engine and 1000nm for a diesel engine.
