[V8] V8 5 spd Conversion

[Kneale Brownson]

I'd think that if you want to make a V8 5speed, you need a V8 5speed tranny AND rear diffy so you get the dual Torsen of the V8 5speed.   I'd consider that more important than the fancy flywheel.   I'm not sure the 5k tranny will mate with the V8 rear end, but maybe one from a 200q20v would.  Ron has one of those for sale, I think.

I know someone does this from time to time, but I just have to step in
here too. I really want to do a 5sp conversion, but I want to know what
parts I can use - see if this is plausable - especially Ron. 

- Buy a type 44 5000 or 100/200 quattro 5spd - use the parts including
transmission, clutch pedal assy, and all related hydraulic components,
shifter linkage etc. Also, use the trans tunnel to 'paste' into the v8.

- Buy one of them there fancy aluminum flywheels from sombody.

I'm sure there would be more but those two things could capture about 95%
of it I think? I know there are two trannys talked about, an 0-1E? and an
0-16? Is this correct? I also know that the one in the lesser type 44,
(like the one I want to use) isn't as 'beefy' as the original one that
came in the v8 - but I really don't drive that hard, so I don't think it
will be a problem. If you think otherwise say it here.

Thanks,
Jason
