016 Transaxle Clutch / Flywheel Parts Needed

[Manny]

Good afternoon. I am new to the GT40 car world, and I need some assistance in identifying replacement parts needed for a CAV built GT40.

The car currently has a Ford Small Block 302ci Motor, and is mated to an Audi 016 Transaxle. The Ford 302ci Motor is worn, has low compression, leak down of 40% on a few cylinders, and has wiped the bearings. I'm currently looking at replacing the motor with a Crate 347ci engine. I need help identifying the the replacement parts needed for the Audi 016 Transaxle. It appears that this kit was made by Gilo Engineering out of South Africa https://www.giloeng.com/

I have emailed them, and attempted to call them, but I am unable to get a responce via email, and when I call, it rings once, and the call fails. Have they gone out of business? Has anyone else had dealing with Gilo Engineering? I have a 121 tooth Ring Gear on the Flywheel, and the Flywheel is stamped with the following numbers from Gilo Engineering FF06V358. The Gilo Adaptor Plate is stamped with the following numbers AF06V35

For those of you using the Audi 016 Transaxle, what clutch, flywheel, starter, ect have you been using? Does anyone have Part Numbers and suppliers to purchase these items from?

Any / all input, experience, parts vendors, part numbers, is greatly appreicated.

You might contact Kennedy Engineered Products (KEP) and see what they have that will mate your engine to transaxle.

Thanks for the input Neil. I did get in contact with them, and they didn't have anything for the 016 Transaxle. They did however have an adapter kit (adaptor plate, flywheel, pilot bearing, and bolts) along with a clutch kit, and starter for an 01E or 01X transaxle, but they don't supply the transaxle, I'd have to source one. I'm sure there is a lot more work to be done with axles, mounting location of the 01E transaxle compared to the 016 currently installed, and then ofcoarse there is the shifter linkage that would need to be addressed if changing over to an 01E.

Thread 'GTD Flywheel - Need help'

Aug 1, 2020

Dear All,
I am a new owner of a GTD40 from 1989. Putting down the alpine gearbox (UNI5) to replace a broken and leaking Crankshaft seal (rear) and the clutch, I noticed that the flywheel and the dented ring had some severely damaged tooth.
The tooth ring is a 121 tooth , that seems very uncommon. I cannot find which car it comes from originaly and where to find one. ( for information, the starter is a Tilton Super starter ref 98-073 with a 9 tooth wheel)
Could anyone of you help me on that.
Many many thanks in advance
Best Regards to you all
Laurent

I recently replaced my 016 with a O1E when my pinion bearings failed. There are no pinion bearings available worldwide. You are wasting time at this point keeping the O16.

Gents, A little update on my efforts. (SL-C - LS3 to Ricardo GT). Kennedy Engineering would not work with the RCR adapter plates because of the thinkness (0.997"). They told me that the thickness of the adapter would not work with their offering. (I'm just repeating). HOWEVER - I found Clutch Masters (California). They have been a pleasure to work with so far. I will offer updates when I have them. In the mean time, if Clutchmasters has interest from the community, perhaps it might be a solution for several of us??

 

[Cliff Beer]

That's a shame Kennedy Engineering was a no-go with the 016 parts. They used to supply a kit for the 016 (plate, clutch parts, etc.) to SBF - I know, because I bought two such kits from them. The kit included a SPEC clutch I know, but I don't recall the part number unfortunately.

Did you win with this lot, Manny? I am from South Africa, Gilo is based in Johannesburg, the original owner has passed on, with business then managed by his wife and daughter. The ring gear is from a Ford Essex V6, and the adaptor is meant for the same V6 starter.
