Ryan, The Corvair setup places the trans between the motor and the diff. If this configuration is what you wish, then perhaps consider a late Corvette or even a 928 transaxle. You would of course have to make an adapter, but these transaxles are good for high torque AND have excellent V8...

When I was at Kennedy Eng'g some two years ago with my 01E, they told me that the 016 will not fit the LS1. Reason being that the LS1 crankcase is too wide, and the starter cannot be placed close enough to fit the 016 (or 01E) starter pocket. I have verified this to be so. One way around this...

Neal, I think you are refering to an 013 gearbox. 012's came later; about '97 I believe, and are still being used today. There is also a type 089 gearbox, but I can't be sure they were ever used on 5000 Diesels. Andys

KEP uses a type "R" Toyota truck starter. It was used on nearly every 22R 4 cylinder motor Toyota made, and perhaps on other applications as well. Must be tens of thousands of them around. Andys

To add to Howard's advice; If you're dealing with reputable vendors/dealers, make your payments by credit card in order to lock in the exchange rate for that day to avoid any surprises. Otherwise, if you do a wire transfer, not only will you get charged a transfer fee, but the rate can change...

Howard, Give these guys a try. They're in the UK. Your shifter is very likely an Esprit unit. Andys

[ QUOTE ] Mark, I never found out absolutely for sure, but the turbo I've heard had a 3.375 and this I haven't confirmed yet! When and if I find out I will post this info. [/ QUOTE ] Jim, Maybe this site will help http://www.924.org/techsection/PorscheTrans1.PDF I've got the Excel...

I'd lobby that the GTA option is quite a viable one for those that choose that route. Though it still harbors suspected limitations with regard to HP/TQ, it does address the need for vastly improved ratio's at a reasonable price. It very nicely shifts the entire speed range of all 5 gears to the...

Jim, Here's the link to the thread regarding some discussions of the 944T R&P. Your observations of the pinion gear has jogged my memory; seems that's the same thing John @ GTA mentioned. He told he was going to machine a case to accept the larger pinion bearing and gear head, but I don't know...

Jim, I've seen a few posts mention a Porashce 3.28 R&P. To my knowlege, the 951 (944 Turbo) used a 3.375 R&P, and I have seen no reference to anything of a lower numrical ratio than that; again, to my knowlege. You might try the local POCA, or more specifically, the 951 racers. They often...

[ QUOTE ] Different thinking How about some rubber "donuts" instead of CV joints to absorb some of that initial hit? Yes they may not last but got to be cheaper than gearboxes and rebuilds Ian [/ QUOTE ] I believe nearly all BMW sedans use a rubber donut on their driveshafts. Their sizes...

Paul, Do you, or perhaps anyone else, have a photo or schematic of the gearchange lever mechanism in the cockpit of this "Teleflex" system? I'm curious how action is translated at the front end. Thank you, Andys

My information is at least 3 years old, so perhaps the site(s) has changed some. In the US, Eurospec did list a 2.7 1st gearbox, but verified that it was not (no longer?) available. The Audisport WEB site forums you mention could be a good resource; it is also a UK site. Race shops may be...

Dave, Since no one has yet replied, I'll give it my "stricktly by the book" version. The 01E first grear is intergral to the input shaft, which would necessitate replacing it in it's intirety. The matching gear on the counter shaft would also need to be replaced. I would speculate that this...

The model 012 transaxle was available on everything Audi (except TT) 5 speed 2WD from about '97. There was an 013 and 089 model crossover ending that year. Some A8's had a very low ratio 1st gear (I think they were the US models). Others' however, were quite good. Certain codes of the 012 from...

[ QUOTE ] Does anyone have a close up picture of the shift lever using two cables, similar to the picture Lee posted above by Powerhouse II. I surely understand the fore & aft throw but how does the cable control the side to side throw at the lever. Keeping in mind it is mounted in limited...

The model 012 5 speed is used on the V8 powered 4200lb Audi A8. A more powerful and heavier car than the Audi 5000. From that, it may even be a stronger trannsaxle than the 016 if one were to apply such logic. As for gear ratio's, look for code DUK; excellent for your application but hard to...

Sandy, They did mention that LSD will be available, otherwise it's an open diff. Big ring gear, 10" I believe. Andy

Aparently Mendeola is soon to release a street 5 speed transaxle capable of 500lb-ft and 650HP.The information I got from them was that they will have information and/or a trans on display at SEMA (Vegas) in November, and at the PRI show in Orlando. Not sure if a Ford bellhousing pattern will be...
