Gearbox reconditioning info needed

[Cottis]

Yep agree with Alex. Ratios are different in some. I was reading an in depth article in a thread I now cannot find that suggest that many Q boxes have slightly different ratios but mostly the same final drive ratio.

All I know is that my box is agricultural at best but then all Audi boxes in my experience are. They do the job, are quite strong but it is reasonable for them to go a bit wobbly after 160k.

Get a new linkage while the box is reconditioned, the 5spd ones are not that expensive, will make a big difference

Good idea, will ask them to do that. Assume the parts are still available from Audi?

Also found the link to the list of box ratios

All the info is in KATE, you just need to know your transmission code.
It will say something like: 3.gear Z=38/31
