Loctite (whatever happened to real names on the forum?),

you could mate a TH425/325 to a Ford motor. There are adapter plates for that application, at least there was years ago. You can mate an Audi box to a Ford or Chevy motor, there are adapter plates for that too.

Point is all of these transaxles mated to any motor require an adapter plate and the plates are generally available or can be made.

The early Audi 5000 automatics don't appear to require a computer. The TH425/325 definitely doesn't require a computer.

So, decide which one you want and start to source the adapter.

However, neither option will be as inexpensive as a $300 to $400 boneyard Audi 016 manual box and a $1200 adapter for Audi to Ford.
