The hubs on the S

Base hubs

The aluminum plate underneath is different. Top is 6 speed, middle is 5 speed and the bottom is I think from a tiptronic.

Tiptronic from a S

Don't think there's a visual difference but here's a 2.5 tiptronic

5 speed (don't have a pic right now but will add one next time I get one in)

Here's the trans mount. From top to bottom. S tiptronic, 5 speed and 6 speed

Here's a difference between the 2.5 and 2.7/3.2 U-pipes. The 2.5 has a better curve
