I know there is a wealth of info on here concerning the Audi transaxles, but I was wondering if any of you could help identify a gearbox I am considering purchasing to mate with a 302. Details are as follows:
Skoda 2003 2.5TDi, serial numbers on the box are : AEK ZWN 8150070808, O1E 301 211C, O1E 301 103-K
Can anyone tell me the ratios for this? I'm hoping it's the same box as an Audi unit (certainly some of the numbers seem familiar), as I was originally going down the O1X route and bought a bellhousing adaptor, flywheel, gear linkage etc from Bailey Edwards in SA (he was using O1X boxes with good success for two endurance race cars which I saw in his workshop). I've been told now that the O1E is a stronger unit (but the interface on the bellhousing is the same), so I'm hoping this Skoda unit will do the job. The car is only for road use, and only running about 300bhp (as long as Mike Huddart doesn't get carried away on my engine!). The gearbox is cheap, so I can afford to take a gamble.
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer. Brett, thanks so far for your advice.
