OK and on wich udder audi model can I find the 012 box? So when I go to the junkyard I know what to ask for. Gracias, Jan K
Thank you John, It`s gone be easy to find une over her in Spain as the most off the cars are diesel over her. Salu2 Jan K
Depending on which 4.2L engine you are using you could also use the gearbox out of the Audi R8. These are really nice gearboxes, let me know if you want to take a look at this option. Cost should be about $15K with clutch, flywheel and adapter, give or take I think.
We are still in the process of working out all of the details on this right now.

So, it's $5K for a clutch, adapter and flywheel?
On the FFCars site, you say the gearbox is $10K.
It's the GT40s/SLC tax
I find it interesting that an Audi V8 would need an adaptor to run a box that was designed to run behind an Audi V8 to begin with...the pictures I have of the various generations of Audi V8 all appear to have the exact same bolt pattern.

Unless you are using the R8 engine, the R8 gearbox will not bolt up to any other Audi Engine.
However for the most parts the other Audi V8 engines have two bolt patterns, early and later bell housing dimensions, and the earlier pattern (up to ~2005) will fit most Audi gearboxes made.
We are still in the process of working out the clutch options, and there is some hope that we will be able to offer less expensive options here shortly, right now the R8 clutch and release bearing runs about $3400.00 but it seems like it will be up to the task of holding quite a bit of HP and Torque. We are still working out the adapter which may not be as pricey to make as we thought originally. So that initial cost is probably a bit high, sorry about that.
Looks like a really good option though.

Ok great! What about a limeted slip diff? for the 01E
The price for the Wavetrac diff looks great but does it lock on acceleration/deceleration like race diff (50/80%)?
I have been racing with Porsche for years using GT diffs (Guard Transmission |). And as you need a good traction when you reduce goes in to the curves the work well and that's the reason why diffs the quaife doesn't work well for racing.
How about the Wavetrac?

Wavetrac diffs are not "Locking" but rather torque biasing and will bias torque on decel as well as accel. What is unique to the wavetrac is it employs a set of clutch packs on each end of the gear cluster which act as an lsd in near zero torque situations.
