[urq] ur-q six speed update

[Patrick Carlier]

Today I went to the wrecker 
and bought the six speed gearbox . 

Here's some preliminary data : 

Gearbox code CBL , Sr Nr 23788, six speed 
Distance between front wheel drive shaft flanges : 
264 mm 
Distance from engine mating surface to end flange 
824.5 mm 

Compared to a 016 gearbox . 
This is a gearbox from a 200TQ .I never had the original 
ur-q box . 
Dist between front wheel drive shafts 276 mm , 12 mm longer 
Dist between engine and end flange : 840 mm , 15.5 mm longer . 
I'll probably manufacture some "shims" to adjust this . 

Other stuff : 
I'll need the flywheel , clutch and  pressure plate from an 
AAN or similar engine . 
This is because the gearboxes main drive shaft is different .
The six speed is thicker and shorter . 

The FDR of the ur-q is 35/9 . 
This box has a 37/9 . 
So I'll need the rear diff of an early audi 80 quattro . 
It has thesame cast housing , but with the 37/9 ratio.
Or put another pinion ring gear combination in my rear diff .  

I'lll keep you all posted of progress /problems .
This is a long term project , so don't expect results 
to soon . 

Does anyone have a teeth count of the early ur-q boxes gear ratio's ?  
Mine was an UG gearbox . 
I only have the third , fourth and fifth gear on the etka . . 
I'd like to have the fisrt and second 

Thx
