Alright, so the question is:

I have a 1998.5 A4 1.8T Quattro Manual (5spd./standard) and I just found out that my rear driveshat is toast (100% definately)

So, the guy who is swapping it out for a new one has an Automatic 1998 Audi A4 1.8T quattro automatic that he uses as a parts car, and he says he'll be happy to give me the driveshaft if it is the right size...

so, the question is, is the rear driveshaft for an automatic the same as for a manual? (they are both quattro and have the same motor)

thanks in advance, as always any and all help is greatly appreciated!

maaaan....sux

indeed

thanks Kyle, I really don't want to order one from audi...they will definately shaft me on the $

well, we'll see what happens

 

I think I remember reading that one of the years came with a CF driveshaft, that'd be kinda cool to find.

Give a call to PureMS or ECS on monday and see if they can get a better price than the dealer.

 

yeah, I am going to do anything in my power not to pay dealer cost...

I think Steve may try to use the Driveshaft from the automatic to rebuild my driveshaft...


we'll see what happens...
