So its finally come down to the moment of swapping in the 6spd. I sold the 5hp24 from the the A6 (4.2 2001 as a reminder which A6) and a guy is finally piecing together what i need for the 01E swap from his totalled 2.7 A6. I want to go over my checklist of parts and include questions. Yes, ive done a lot of searching and a lot of reading from here, motorgeek, audiworld, vwvortex, audiforums, and havent found an answer to just a couple questions. So this is currently everything i have for the swap on the trans. Allroad 01E with everything pictured.
Please correct me if i'm wrong on any of these parts below but i would like to know ALL options that would be bolt on to complete the swap.
- 2.8L 30v AAN Flywheel will bolt up directly to the 4.2 with no modifications and this will allow the stock starter to bolt right up.
- Is there any difference between the A6 2.7 driveshaft and the allroad driveshaft? or will either work?
- Will A6 2.7 01E trans mounts fit or do i need allroad mounts?
- What model clutch/pressure plate can i use? Any 01E clutch and PP?
- Will both the A6 2.7 AND the Allroad CV axles work?
- What rear differentials can i throw in to give it a good gear ratio? not sure if there is a difference a6 2.7? allroad?
- When i get the TCM reflashed what manual file is the best/easiest to use? (not s6 cause i dont want the dead spot in the accel. due to different head)
- I'm assuming i'll need to purchase a pilot bearing?
- I've seen some kits that have an adapter plate to mount trans to motor... is this needed as i've been lead to understand, NO and that the trans will bolt up directly.
I'll be purchasing the parts within the next couple weeks. I just wanna make sure i can cut down as much dead/reorder time as possible.
