01A/E with 016 internals?

[John B]

Hey Mark,

FWIW, The 016 transmission was used on the diesels & gasoline engines in the 80's, offered in different gearing packages (4000 quattro, Ur-quattro, etc). As for the internals, considering the center differential is completely different from the 01A/E to the 016, I'd have to guess the internals would be wildly off as well. 

HTH!

John
