fund out the 1.8Tand the 2both have the same final drive so no need to swap out the rear diff however,the 2.8 has a 0789 5th gear vs a .838 5th for the 1.8t this equates to about a 300rpm drop at 65 for slightly better fuel economy, Also 1st gear for the 1.8T is 3.778 vs 3.5 for the 2.8 which means acceleration in 1st will be slightly slower.

Hi! Looking at £95 for the trans, plus whatever shipping costs. Most pallet deliveries are £65.

so this gearbox will bolt straight in and using the 2.8 clutch, can it take a hammering from the 2.8, about to turbo it lol, thanks.

so will the 1.8 quattro box fit my 2.8 quattro?? any modifications???
if its straight bolt on using the 2.8 clutch will there be any side affects sorry really dont understand the 300 rpm drop at 65 is that 65mph, will i be able to get any performance out of it.

The swap is a direct bolt in. Im sorry if your running a 2.8 you will have a 300 rpm increase at cruising speed as well as quicker acceleration. Vice versa if your running a 1.8T. Many people with highly modified 1.8Ts like 2.8 transmissions because it allows them to keep the car in 4th at the end of the 1/4 mile without redlining.

This is important. Your A4Q will not like having different ratios at each end of the car.

Import to check, obviously.

If that i verified, rear can stay as is.
Is front to rear shaft the same 1.8T vs. 2.8?
