Greetings,

I own a 2009 Audi R8 V8 with R-Tronic gearbox.

I have an inquiry that remains unresolved in the forum. Perhaps you can assist me. I am seeking to substitute the accumulator and hydraulic pump of my R-Tronic gearbox. I have discovered a substitute for an Audi R8 V10.

I have a question:

Does the R-tronic gearbox have the same specifications for both the V8 and the V10 models? Are the components interchangeable?

Thank you very much!

The gearbox remains unchanged, save for the absence of a clutch. The V10 was equipped with a more robust clutch to handle the increased power. However, it is possible to install the V10 clutch in the V8 R-Tronic.

The R-Tronic components remain same, however, there are variations in the gearing and clutch between the V8 and V10 models.

To ensure thoroughness... The 2013-2015 facelift V8 and V10 vehicles used the higher V10 gear ratios specifically designed for the Graziano manual gearbox. It is well known that the R-tronic version of the Graziano gearbox was replaced with the S-tronic.

I would want to express my gratitude to everyone of you for generously sharing your wisdom. I really value and am grateful for your comments.

I would want to know whether the "hydraulic pump + accumulator assembly" is available. The engine from a 2012 V10 5.2L is compatible with my 2009 V8 4.2L.

Affirmative, the hydraulic pumps are indistinguishable.
