Hi all, I`m currently fitting a 5 speed Audi box into an early KVA MK111 I`m building, the reasoning started as being that I`ll probably break it, but they cost next to nothing and as the bellhousing is universal across the range and they have a good reputation with parts interchange AND I have a good friend in the transmission industry I can develop it from there.
Due to a change of employment, glad to say it was voluntary and still within the motor industry, I think I may be in a position to be of some assistance to anyone running or planning to run an Audi transmission in there 40.
I`ve now joined said good friends firm and we have recently developed two heavy duty gear kits and a fork kit for the Borg Warner/ now Tremec T5 `box, this is not a sales pitch but on the off chance you are interested in this kit take a look at our site at www.gearboxman.co.uk.
As much as free publicity is great we will not be ready for the world launch and press kit release for these kits (although it is now common knowledge that they are available in the UK among the Cosworth and TVR boys) untill Jan`/Feb` 2004.
Back to the point, we would like to hear of any failures or problems in general that any of you guys running Audi units are finding.
If we can find an inherant weekness in any component or a design fault that is causing problems, or maybe even a perfect ratio that is not available, we are in a position to have new up rated parts made to spec`.
But, and there`s always a but! there has to be a market for the product, low volume production is very expensive, hence the need for feed back from those of you running Audi units, the more the better.
What do you like about the box, what don`t you like, where can we improve it?
Please post here or email me direct at [email protected] with any comments or sugestions you may have.
If we can produce a gear kit that is in demand we will produce it, it`s up to you guys to tell us what you want, and yep, I get to fit and develop the prototype in my own car. Ah, the sacrifices I have to make in the name of sience.
Thanks for your time guys.

P.S. we`re currently running in XS of 600BHP/500lb torque with the T5 kit with no failures to date.
