your money is better spent elsewhere.

 

All of the Audi 6 speed transmissions will bolt up, problem is you end up needing way more parts then just the transmission, this has to do with the fact that the 6 speeds use a different final drive and the transmission is longer then the 01A transmission.


You are better off just having someone pull your transmission apart and putting in a TDI 5th gear.

 

even the new 2.0 a4 6 speed? still longer and final different? So my next question is, more effective to rebuild the one I have or buy a used one in good shape. I recently blew mine eating a mustang Most every gear grinds, the shifter is kinda funny feeling, and I think I bent or broke the fork inside.

 

If they grind then you killed the syncro's.

Not sure about the B7 2.0t 6 speed. I dont know anyone that has tried.

 

you can get a used trans in decent shape for under $500 from a junkyard. that is usually less then a shop will charge to rebuild yours.

 

years 97-01' are the same, right? also if I was going to rebuild mine, where can I get good parts to beef it up a bit? Thanks for all your guys input. everything except transmissions are my strong points

 

They are all an 01A transmission but it seems the pre 00 transmissions are a bit weaker. If your going to get one try to find one off a 00-01 DWR if your looking for a 1.8t 5 speed.


No one makes any aftermarket parts for our transmission. I am working with a shop that is offering to have the OEM parts cryo treated and fully rebuild the transmission at the same time with all new syncro's and seals. But at that point you will be spending around $1000 to rebuild yours or $1500 for a fully built supplied transmission.

 

where can I get the parts cryo treated or the tranny?

 

Contact Jason or Dan at JH Motorsports 209-968-0077. We need a total of 75 lbs to get all of the cryo treatment done in a batch.
