6 speed 01e is in, fully mounted, shifting and has axles!
I used:
-b4 90 fwd axles that fit the TDI trans tripod joints
-second hand set of hanks first generation rs2 replica mounts
-made some spacers for the mount on the passenger side from some old inner control arm bushing sleaves
-made up a lower downpipe hanger bracket to hang from the passenger side mount
-cut down the 01a trans bolts to work with hanks mounts
-stock 90 20v outer knuckles
-276mm g60 rotors
-g60s from a coupe quattro
-early b5 s4 linkage. I had to actually lengthen mine about 1.25 inches. I redid this several times because I really didnt like how it shifted. At first I made a short shifter using the mk1 vw shifter, but I just didnt like the reverse lockout action. I ended up using the slightly worn factory shifter flipped (so reverse lockout is correct with 01e pattern) I cut the end off the original linkage with 1.25" extra and mated that to the b5 s4 linkage. Shifts as well an an 01e can now. Damn things are notchy.
-b5 s4 shift knob
-audi 4000 driveshaft. (not yet installed, assuming this will fit)
No pics of it installed, but I am glad to have that hurdle cleared.
Downpipe hanger bracket
more salvaging from this old winch mount plate. This thing is all over my car. Many brackets including motor mounts were made from this thing.
had this random hanger that came on the TDI trans, didnt work for my application, so I scavenged it too.
you can see the spacers made from the control arm sleeves, perfect for this
