Mike, AFAIK, the 3U box only has a taller 2nd thru 5th gear ratios, with the R&P ratio remaining the same (3.89:1). The 016 suffers from a low ratio 1st (3.60:1), relegating it nearly useless (It's worse in the 5N). Still, the 3U is a better option. Euro recyclers tend not to separate...

Cliff, You'll still need to throw a little more money at the G50 above its inital cost. Since it requires flipping the box upside down, you'll need to relocate the fill hole, add a new drain hole, plug the original vent, and add a vent to what is now the top (requires at least partial...

AFAIK, the 012 has the same bell housing bolt pattern as the model 01E, not the 016. Andy, I don't recognize that number you posted. The part number and code will be stamped at the bottom adjacent to the differential side cover (on the drivers side). It should read 012 XXX XXX XXX, with the...

That looks to be an Audi model 012 5 speed as used on all (USA) late front drive Audi/VW's except TT & Beetle. I'm not sure what a "1uzfe lex v8" is. This transaxle has the same bellhousing bolt pattern as the Audi model 01E. Andys

Sorry for that double post. Keep in mind, that this would likely be the adapter for the slave cylinder that I have, which may or may not have the same fitting requirement as the 016 (though it probably is). I would have prefered to use the standard 01E slave, but couldn't locate the quick...

I checked the slave cylinder I have, and the fitting requires an M12x1.0 thread and concave end (inverted flare). I checked Goodridge, and they catalog a -3 jic to M12x1.0, P/N 306-03-M121, or a -4 jic to M12x1.0 P/N 306-04-M121. As it turns out, this was not an easy fitting to find in the usual...

I don't see any reason why the local Audi dealer can't find a part number. Try another dealer, or check a VW dealer for a 6 speed 4Motion application, '98 to about '03. Same for an Audi application; '97-'04 Quattro 6 speed. I believe all 01E's use the same slave; it's the plastic one with that...

Though I haven't looked at the slave I have (inverted flare or bubble flare?), but you might check the Earl's (Holley) catalog: Holley Performance Brake System Adapters Products . Try one of these two: 592042ERL, -4 x M10x1.0mm inverted flare, or 592045ERL, -4 x M10x1.25inverted flare. You...

Here are the ratios for an 016 5N with the 944T 3.375 R&P: Audi 016-5N w/ 944T 3.375 Diff. 1st 12.15 2nd 7.193rd 4.59 4th 3.27 5th 2.46 These are net ratio's (Diff x gear), hence 3.60 1st x 3.375 Diff.= 12.15, and so on. Andy

Thought this might be interesting to some folks in case they haven't seen it before. http://www.kraftwerkz.net/news.htm I saw the red LMK917 at the German Auto Fest in Ventura CA, this past weekend. What struck me most was how small it is. An extremely well done replica, IMHO. Andy

Sandy, I am of course concerned about street manners. QM's tech staff opined that this particular setup (though it will employ a spring center hub on the disc, not the solid center pictured) will be streetable; a bit touchy but completely tolerable. We'll see. Most high performance and race...

The attached photo's are of an 8 1/2" single disc clutch assembly good for about 375-400lb-ft. Friction material is bronze/ceramic. Andy

Any of the bronze/ceramic friction disc's that I'm familiar with, normally require that the flywheel and pressure plate friction surfaces have a very smooth finish. A typical rough blanchard ground finish used for organic friction disc's is not suitable, and will produce abrupt coupling that...

Ron, I would think that the failure mode would be of significant interest. From that, perhaps we might understand where to focus proposed upgrades. The person that made that steel sandwich plate believed the cast iron pinion shaft bearing support was the weak point. He even had a photo of the...

I agree. It's a matter of a very simple design change. Why anyone would intentionally design it this way is beyond me. Also, I think I would opt to fix the gear lever base in a spherical bearing and another at the link. I still like the simultaneous action concept however. Andy

To express an opinion, I offer that the GTD cable mechanism design holds a distinct advantage that many others do not. With this system, both selector and gate articulation loads are spread across both cables, as each function employs both cables simultaneously. This allows for reduced cable...

I believe that to be an Audi 013 Serial Number prefix HF 1st 3.46, 2nd 1.79, 3rd 1.13, 4th 0.83, 5th 0.68, Diff 4.11. Andy

Mark, While it is unlikely that a new flywheeel would require grinding, it does depend somewhat on the friction material. With an organic disc, a smooth surface is usually not specified. If you have something aggressive like a bronze/ceramic, then a smoother finish is usually reccomended...

Adam, I'm afraid it is very much dependent on your clutch setup. If you intend to employ the use of an Audi clutch assembly, then perhaps visit your local Audi shop to measure that distance while they're doing a clutch R&R. Flywheel friction surface to motor/bellhousing distance on any 6...
