I just have a question for someone who has knowledge on the cranks and flywheels for the 2.7.

The engine went out in my a6 2.7t 6 speed.
I bought a replacement 2.7t engine from a tip5 Allroad.
My flywheel bolt do not reach the crank!!!
The tip5 flywheel is much thinner, its like its recessed and the starter lines up with it.
Although the 6speed Flywheel is about 1-2" thick and it is not recessed and does not match up with the starter.

Do i just need the 6speed starter or swap the cranks or different flywheel or what?

Please help ASAP, thank you

looks like its a completely different crank! that sucks man, may have to swap the crank out!

 

can i get the flywheel machined to fit? Because i REALLY dont want to have to pull the bottom end off.

 

Really? There is no way you can go from a tip tranny to a 6spd and even dream of it matching up. Even if the bolt did match up the car and the gears would not engage, should've asked they were able to be mixed first, sorry about your luck.

 

oh and I believe derek you meant the flywheel not crank, he will be fine on the crank, just find an used flywheel.

 

YEEEAAAA!!!!!! that last picture of the crank is not apart of the crank. It is a spacer about an 1" thick and i hit it with a mallet a couple times and it fell off! Everything bolts up fine now.

Future reference for any getting an engine from a tiptronic going in a manual. There is a 1" circle block spacer that wieghts about 5lbs you need to pull off, and thats it. That spacer is in between the tiptronic flex plate and the engine block.
