[V8] 5spd tranny code...

[Bastian Homburg]

The 1989-1991 5sp-V8 transmission code is AWW. These are pretty hard to 
come by, though as that transmission is unique to the V8. In comparison 
to the Type44 transmissions it is based on, it has a few reinforced 
components, notably wider gear rings and beefed-up syncro parts, to cope 
with the torque. If you plan on driving your car hard, that's the way to go.
In principle, you can use any post-1988 quattro transmission off a car 
equipped with procon-ten (that's the IInd gen. quattro system with 
torsen center diff) Transmission codes would be A0A,ADY,ADZ AUN,AUP,AUL 
AUM, AOB,AUP orAOC (no idea which of these made it to the US). The C4 
quattro transmissions would also be useable.
