911 trany same as Audi 5000?
Whats with the audi 5000 transmision being the same as the 901?
Per this web page: http://www.statikdesign.com/scratchb...chor-Mar-58173 Can someone please clarify. Ive seen audi 5000's at the boneyard and I havent even looked at their set up till I saw above web page. I can scoop one up for about $60.00. Thanks for heads up guys. Wolfy |
5Ks trans
Wolfy-
This sounds kinda interesting, but the page you referenced was talking about using the 5000S transmission in a mid-engine chassis, where the rotation of the engine and trans would be the same as in the front-wheel-drive setup on the Audi. Use of the transmission in a rear-engine setup would require "flipping" the ring and pinion (dune buggy-ese for moving the ring gear to the other side) to change the rotation of the axles so you would not have one speed forward and 5 in reverse. If the trans case does not allow the R&P to be flipped, then there are reverse rotation cams available, but I have never seen a reverse rotation cooling fan! This is a very interesting concept, but I don't know if it is anything more than a ghost story as far as it applies to a VW beetle. Still, I'll have to take a look at my own 5000S to see if this could work. Maybe I'll end up with a camper with no engine and a shiftless Audi- Hey, what about a 5-cylinder sticking out the back of a Bus? Thanks for the link. Regards, Mark. |
the audi 5000 tranny is not the same as a 901, or any tranny that graced a 911
the audi 5000 tranny is the same (identical in fact) as a porsche 944 tranny very strong transaxles exelent for a mid engined setup. |
