Audi 016 transaxle

Now if we can just get them to use the 016 case with the Ford bell housing bolt pattern and make a taller first gear. Or better yet let's get them to copy a ZF box for around $2000.
 
given the capacity of 400,000 transmissions per year (china news online) I think they would be capable of most things...though whether they would take a tiny bunch of eccentric enthusiasts such as us seriously is another thing. Still would be interesting to see what they can do.
 
I suspect, not unlike any other company, that interest would be heightened with the prospect of selling many units. I suppose some brave soul could negotiate and purchase a short run quantity of custom transaxles. Wonder what kind of investment it would take? Of course there are likely to be some licensing and confidentiality issues that may prevent you from buying an 016 transaxle from Chanchung. The Chinese Trade Registry is full of various manufacturers looking for work. You'd be surprised at what can be can be found.
