Re: Announcing Audi 016 with custom 3.17 R&P
I purchased the first prototype gearbox that MitchD had made. It was based on a 5N. I started driving my car with a stock 5N. The gear spacing is poor in stock form. This modification is a good investment if you are on a budget.

I emailed German Transaxles asking if they still offered the 3.22 R&P. They told me they ordered them 3 years ago and were selling them for $1695/set. They don't have any in stock and have to order them in lots of 10 to offer them at that price.
Since the $1695 price is 3 years old, I asked them for a current price. I'll let you know when I get a response. Is there enough interest here for 10 sets in that price range?

Thats over 63% of the retail cost of a complete rebuilt UN1 from TSC!

Tell them if they did a bit of advertising on GT40s.com, or offered a group buy to the forum, they'd probably sell a lot more! :idea:

I have yet to understand the fascination with the 016. They have marginal torque capability, syncros break when slammed into gear, many hard parts are discontinued, and you have to buy a $2,000 ring and pinion to have a useful first gear.

I feel cost and availability in the States is the attraction for some.
I paid $325.00 for a 5N. Now the adapter and clutch will run $1000.00
But it is really cheap compared to the $11,000 I was quoted for a used helwand. The draw backs may be many but cost is always a main factor with budget builders.

Scott: My observation that $1695 for the 016 R and P would be a bargain was based only upon two current quotes of approximately $2200 obtained from two different suppliers. Compared to those quotes $1695 would be a bargain. That is all I meant.
