The nemisis single and tandem are setup to use a VW 4 cyl with a manual longitudinal audi 5 (01A/012) or 6 (01E) speed. The transverse DSG's won't work.

Ditto what Scott said. Check to see if the collar slides smoothly on the hub. Warm it up and use some welding gloves to repeat the test. Almost every trans I dig into has a sticky 1-2 collar. If the 1-2 collar is smooth on the surface opposite the reverse gear teeth, it's the older part that's...

No, motor is a 00-03 ALH base and trans is a FWD Audi 01E.

Been using one these daily for almost 2 years on .065" Ss. Just use oil, and do the bead in 4-5 increments. Comes out really nice.

You would be much further ahead to use the VW/Audi 3.0L V6 over the VM unit if you plan on power modding. Will also make your transmission package easier as a fwd 01E will bolt right to it. Tuners long ago cracked the bosch edc16 and edc17 ecu's for immobilizer deletes and full tune ability...

Sounds like a great gearbox! That's the beauty of the 01E, there are so many possible combinations, it's inexpensive (comparatively), and is very strong. Yeah, the low outputs aren't ideal, but to many raising the motor 1" to save $5K+ is worth it. I just threw out the $10-11k figure as a...

I presume you're looking at a 5 speed out of a V6 or 4 banger US market passat? If so, that's an 01A and it is the cousin to the first gen boxster trans. Quaife makes a diff for the 99 and down transmissions, but not the 99+. They changed the differential bearing sizes for no major reason. There...

You don't want to run an AWD audi box as a FWD only box because the front output shaft runs inside the counter shaft. It's small only meant to see a max of 40% torque by design. In a FWD only trans, the counter shaft itself drives the ring and pinion so it's designed for 100% torque. However...

Was just sold on ebay. Mods - feel free to delete thread.

Had a customer change their mind so I don't have a need for this to sit around any longer. This is the exact rebuild kit as seen here 01E 6-speed Full Rebuild Kit (JHM-Performance) w/ Updated 1-2 Collar - JH Motorsports Inc. - -- $850 shipped anywhere in North America.

As others have said, by the time you ceramic coat mild, you're in the same ball park as stainless. Ace Stainless and Verocious motorsports are my favorite suppliers for stainless tubing and sanitary style bends. They're 10x nicer to work with over traditional mandrel bends. Once you use them...

Leave the bearing in the crankshaft, nothing will touch it so it's not even going to spin. Get a new bearing, toss it in the freezer, then warm the flywheel with a propane/mapp torch to ~150F. Bearing should almost fall in with a few taps from a dead blow.

Hey Dave, the pilot bearing goes in the flywheel with the graziano setup, not the crank. Would hate to see a $10k trans wrecked from a silly mistake.
