You definitely would not use the 5HP-19 period. This is a very weak trans. It is basically the same as was used in the early tiptronic Porsches. I learned about this trans when the one in my wife's A6 2.7L bi-turbo went out. The rated torque output is the same as this engine makes stock and it...

I have most Porsche manuals as pdf's so if you can tell my what year you's is I can send you the correct 911 manual. I think a G50-01 would be 1987-1989. This manual is 277mb so I may need to send you a CD. Send me a PM. Pete

The bolts need to be dry or only have Loctite on them. Also, it is very important to have the mounting surfaces between the CV's and the flanges clean as well. You can loose a huge amount of clamping force with greasy flanges. Here is an excerpt from a 911 forum I found a while back: 100 mm...

You can use 924/924s/944 axles. The shift mech is the same an all of them as well. The 944 transaxle does not have the provision for a clutch fork, slave cylinder or pilot bearing.

You need to know what 944 transaxle you are looking at. The 944 non turbo/non S or S2 (along with 81-84 924 turbo) is the same as your 016. They have the same 1st-5th ratios and a 3.89 ring & pinion. however the input shaft is larger in diameter. The S and S2 & turbo have a ring and pinion...

You might also look at the 5 speed auto used in the AUDI A6. My wife's 2001 2.7L Biturbo has a 5 spd Tiptronic. I would think it wouldn't be too difficult to adapt a paddle shift to this.

I'm not certain about the 2.7 TDI but the A6 2.7 BiTurbo (250HP/250Ft.Lbs) uses the 01E 6 speed. My wife's A6 2.7 BiTurbo is a Tiptronic 5 speed auto.

AUDI used a 5 spd tiptronic in the A6's. Usually autos can be built to take significantly higher torque over stock than manuals can. This is partly due to the fluid coupling characteristics of the torque converter. I know of a guy that has a 350 chevy in his automatic 944 and is now building a...

Re: Audi 016 goes Bang! The 944 spline is 1" x 23 and is very common. You can get discs from 8.5" to 12". (215mm - 305mm) Late model Mustangs use the smaller one and 60's-70's Chrysler products use the larger ones.

Re: Audi 016 goes Bang! I finally got a chance to measure the 944 transaxle input shaft. It protrudes out of the bell housing surface 1 5/8" and the splined part is 2 9/16" long. I believe the AUDI shaft protrudes about 1/2" so the 944 shaft is a little over 1" longer. The 944 splines are...

I don't know if I can agree. I think that the bigger they get the more unreasonable they get on this subject. When they get as big as Quaife or Getrag they are beyond reasonable economics. Case in point, the company I work for (one of the largest in manufacturing ice and beverage dispensing...

I didn't know that the Shelby thing was still going on.

Has anyone seen this? What's New

Re: Audi 016 goes Bang! The 944 turbo has a 1" x 23 spline. Clutch discs are avaliable from 8.5" up to 12". The shaft may be longer. I don't have any AUDI input shafts to compare to the Porsche ones I have. I have an assembled 944 gearbox in the garage so I can measure the shaft length in...

Re: Audi 016 goes Bang! I just remembered something..... The early 944 gearboxes (82-85/1) are known to do the same thing to the ring and pinion on very high mileage cars. So I wonder if the ring and pinions in the 016 are subject to fatigue after they have high miles? I've seen a couple...
