Audi 90Q has same tranny (01A) as 100Q and the inner are small  CV joints,
100mm with small bolts. My 100Q tranny has 100mm inner CV joint.
CV shaft are not the same lenght on 90Q(and 100Q)  with the 01A tranny, and
are the same lenght on 4000Q (or 5000TQ)  with 016 tranny.

Not sure but i think the CV flange on 016 tranny from 4000Q has small inner
CV joint. But 016  inner CV joint  on 5000TQ are big one 108mm BTDT

Nates did a swap of 016 tranny into a 80Q he knows well what fit on what.
See Nates on Motorgeek.com most of time.

I asked many time the inner CV shaft and joint , small or big, long or short
,,, for 5000TQ, 4000Q and 90Q NEVER got BTDT asnwers,,, only tought from
ETKA with lots of mistake on it.

So dont trust ETKA for those infos.
