THE 01E swap into a b3/b4 chassis thread.... :: motorgeek.com

I thought the spacer was used to allow for the use of the thicker dual-mass flywheel.

Doesnt the URS4/6 have a dual mass flywheel? and I dont think it uses a spacer.

A1QSHIP · **Posted:** Thu Feb 23, 2012 8:32 pm

Yes, the URS4/6 with the AAN engine uses a dual-mass flywheel & 5-speed 01E, but does not use the spacer. But the S2 with ABY engine & RS2 with the ADU engine that have a 6-speed 01E use the spacer. I do not have the answer to that one. That said, every car I have seen that came with a 6-speed 01E from the factory has also come with the spacer.

This link states that the dual-mass used with the AAN is thinner that the dual-mass used with the ABY & ADU engines.

That spacer is just for the 01E to a APB or BEL 2.7T engine. ( s4, A6 2.7T or Allroad )

new question...

Call me crazy, but I'd like to retain the procon 10 for safety reasons, as I occasionally will track the Coupe, and am not planning on going full boat roll cage & 5 point harness.

Has anyone successfully been able to use the B5 selector rod and shift box with a pre 95.5 01E?

Apriliapilot · **Posted:** Tue Mar 27, 2012 1:12 pm

I think thats pretty much the most OE like setup into a small chassis. If you can find a b5 s4 linkage rod and ball joint you can use the factory shifter that came in your car.

then you just do a 180* turn of the shift lever baseplate to put the reverse lockout in the correct place.

audiPete · **Posted:** Tue Mar 27, 2012 1:43 pm

the reason I asked the question is that all the pictures i have seen of the B5 shifter w/ 01Es have removed the procon 10 bracket...

Apriliapilot · **Posted:** Tue Mar 27, 2012 2:41 pm

I think people are removing the procon bracket because they just dont want it, not because it cant stay on, but its possible that its too big or something to stay.

What is different when 01E is installed in B2 body? B2 has cable for speedo, what else?

Did you solve this problem?
I think I need digital speedometer from URq :lol:

01E didn't have thread for 016 speedometer sensor and it's dropping in a little too much. :wtf:

Our mounts are the same as RS2 so they'll work with both subframes.

Do you still have them on 034 site?

2 questions:
1. Does anyone have a reputable source for shortening the b3 90q driveshaft?
2. Can the stock half shafts of b3 90q take above 400hp?

bdcoombs · **Posted:** Fri Jul 13, 2012 9:38 am

they are a b5 s4 thing.. not on older 01e cars. atelast ones i have found..

i thought dual mass but urs cars are dual and have no spacer.

the halfshafts are much more likely to get trashed when launching or setting a tire back down under power, its not their total power capacity but really how hard you give them the tq, ie launching, soft big tires etc

zerb is running stock driveshafts with 650 AWHP drag racing.... he is still using street tires, but he does drive it on the street like a maniac.

Not quite, the spacer is to allow for the thicker dual mass flywheel and the use of a 7A-style pressure plate, which is also thicker.

The C4 with the AAN uses a different style (and thinner) pressure plate, so it doesn't need the spacer. The RS2, B5S4, and C4 S-car with the V8 (Rest of World only) use the 7A-style pressure plate with a dual mass flywheel, and they all need the spacer.

O.K. That makes sense. Thanks for clearing that up.

So, what's best solution for this part getting crappy and selector not holding to shift lever?
OEM 4A0798151 ?

glibobbo21 · **Posted:** Sun Jul 22, 2012 6:02 pm

034 carries them now, or jhm has the upgraded spherical unit.

Val · **Posted:** Sun Jul 22, 2012 10:37 pm

ok, found both :thumbsup:

I don't have room for this in gearbox tunnel.

Too bad I need it already yesterday and don't have time to wait for it

audis2clone · **Posted:** Mon Jul 23, 2012 6:04 pm

so 1" is what has to be shorten on the b3 propeller saft to work with the 01E.
Is there a + or - that would be acceptable?

i run a stock flipped end b5s4 shifter linkage, with a spherical rod end just like the one you listed above with no issues. in a b390q20v. i also run a JHM solid spherical shifter, for that i needed to cut the tunnel on the passenger side and weld a little 'bulge' onto it because the shifter was rubbing the tunnel when going into reverse.

THE 01E swap into a b3/b4 chassis thread....
