hi, can anyone help locate a suitable o1e box, or tell me what model/year audi's had a suitable box fitted? i have been reading loads of info so i think i'm quite happy with box choice, just don't know what car to look for at work (write off's) or at the breakers/ebay. there's a box i can get from a '95 2.0 16v coupe. would the box be suitable? if not, does anybody know if the dimentions are the same as an 01e? i can't go any further without a box!:sad: cheers in advance for any help. glen (ps, it will go on a 302)

The Passat I think has either the weaker 012 or the o1x, look for FWD. I know they came in the A4 Some a6 and most of the S models but not all. In the UK they still used, in some Audis, the 01e in 2004 models. Do a google search I found a lot of info. Just type 01e or 01x (a little weaker trans). Then type donor car or replace 01e and you will be entertained for hours. What are you planning to do with the trans, if it is light (under 350HP) look at the 016 while you’re at it. I am no authority on this subject but I have spent about 100hrs researching Audi boxes. Also look at Lambo lounge forum (good info there as well). The 016 or O1e (x) will work fine with a 302 SBF sub 350hp/350tq. Be aware some of the 01(e or X) are computer controlled.

Glen,
My 01X is not computer controlled, it is a plain old manual.
You may want to have a look at joining the GT40 Enthusiasts Club, contact Tony Hunt. They have/had a couple of 01Es for sale for members a while back.

Glen,
look on vagcat.com there you can browse through models and look what gearbox they used.
If you can't locate one I can get a couple, codes: FRK, GVS and GBA for 1600 euro all reconditioned units. Also used ones but need to ask for price.

cheers guys (where are all the girls?)
there is a lot of conflicting info between the 01e and 01x, some posts say one is stronger, other posts say otherwise, so i'll look for both and buy what ever turns up first at an affordable price (i.e. cheap)
jesus...i'd never heard of an 01e/x 2 weeks ago!! there's so much to learn!!!.....hmmmmmm....then i need to find out about ford v8's!!!
luckily, i enjoy the learning as much as the building, and that as much as the driving (that last bit is not really true:uneasy
but i love it!!!

01X is an all aluminium unit, and is taken to be slightly weaker than the 01E with it's cast steel center section. The 0A2 is the next generation gearbox after the 01X.
01E was used from 1992-2003
01X used from 2003-2007
0A2 used from 2002-present
There is yet another generation of VAG's venerable 6 speed that moves the front drive flanges forward significantly, that is found on the newest models.
Glen, use a Sniper!! Try Gixen, or maybe, stick a bid on, you may be the next lucky one!!
Keep in mind there are 2 varieties of the 01E and 01X.. Both gearboxes came in FWD or AWD. AWD is useless in a 2 wheel drive only project.
Also the FWD 01E are notorious for having pinion bearing issues. Apparently the factory set the pinion backlash too tight which caused the pinion bearing to gall (about 90 percent of the FWD 01E's i've produced have had this issue).

I have one of these that I can help you with. Give me a call and I will be happy to work this out with you.
