You can save money by buying the transmission yourself, however, and you can soon have a fully-functioning transmission once more. I thought he was meaning weld the diff in a transaxle and turn the whole shebang sideways. The transmission will come with our standard sixth month warranty against failure! I am working out details for an upcoming diesel project vehicle. Then it's about finding a front differential with the same ratio. Although, if that proves to be too expensive, an aftermarket external device can also be arranged.
The trans axle reduction + whatever is in the rear axle. Seems like there a ton of tranny threads around here. Used cables can work for a while but they are for sale used because they are wearing out. I was wondeing if anyone has discussed with Kennedy what they might offer for their adaptors? Removing the front diff will result in lubrication issues towards the back of the gearbox. I plan on plating this thing and driving it on the street.
There are a few other ratios, but those are the most common with the 01e stuff. You can build an adapter from an old transaxle by cutting the front portion off and machining it to fit whatever you want it to fit. If you use a proper Rear wheel drive diff then you won't have this issue, however you might find yourself going backwards real fast. We're currently swapping a T5 into a Mustang two originally an autobox. At least I make my changes in the planning stage--most of the time. I thought that was a genius way to get super low gearing, and it was dirt cheap.
Some say capable of 400+ but it's never been documented. You also loose and speed reference. In reply to dean1484: Years ago I attempted to build a locost. I'm not saying audi transmisssion is the way to go, but if u can slap an audi transmission to an american engine, or bmw engine with adapters I don't see why u couldn't with the vr6. The individual component part numbers most of them have an 01X prefix which suggests that few, if any parts are interchangeable with the 01E though they look the same in the illustrations.
I've got the 4kq manual as well as the 90q manual if you need me to shoot some photos. I need to mic audi shafts to see what they are. The rear is a no brainer, stock is fine for now. Quote: There are many problems with this: Welding the center diff will eventually result in the welds or gears cracking. It is Evo9, Evo10, Subaru and Audi 01E. Don't think this would be best setup if you want to drag race a lot.
My reference to the Ultima guys was just based on experience dealing with their cars and fixing tranny issues. Vr6 will need the adapter plate unless you somehow incorporate that too. Everything Ford used before the T5 was different, and they didn't use anything after. Apparently the seller was insulted by my price, or the car was stolen. I thought that was a genius way to get super low gearing, and it was dirt cheap. Im sure there has to be a pilot out there though that would fit.
Is it 100% possible to weld a dif solid and experience no failure. Got a good trans with 12K kilometers. These are often replaced with composite synchronizers. Now both my trannies are 108mm so I can swap back and forth. They just absolutely hate miss shifts, so mind your gearing. Bentley manuals should have drawings of the bolt patterns and bolt sizes for each hole location. Kennedy engineering comes to mind.
There is a gearbox from a volvo with the 6 cylinder audi diesel inline 6 same bolt pattern as 5 cylinder however the 4 and 5 cylinder engines differ in the bolt pattern. So im sure those guys would help me out in finding stuff. Im more or less going one step at a time. Yes it may even be for the pickup class. I already have the motor so now I need the trans to make this work.
This addresses the starter issue. Jon Mid engine, rear wheel drive. For what it is worth, the ford 4 cylinder t5 has a. I thought I had seen at least one other swap using the t5 tranny and vr6 in a bed mounted rabbit. The early V8's have the crank sensors sticking out which interferes with the trans bellhousing, substantial material needs to be removed from the bell housing to accommodate the sensors. Why don't u tell us what your thinking and we'll tell yah if it will possibly work or not? Its just not practical for road vehicles.
