[Vwdiesel] 5-speed trans wanted

[dieseltdi at verizon.net]

My bentley says 020 for ABA , ACC and AAZ engines, 02A for AAA and  
AHU and 1Z.  You could use the 020 but the gearing still would not be  
what is on the TDI.  According to Bentley, these are the gear specs

020 in ACC: final drive 3.667, 1st 3.455, 2nd 1.944, 3rd 1.370, 4th  
1.032, and 5th 0.850
in AAZ ):  3.667, 3.455, 1.944, 1.286, 0.909, 0.745
in ABA:  3.667, 3.455, 1.944, 1.286, 0.969, 0.805

02A in 1Z/AHU: 3.157, 3.777, 2.117, 1.360, 0.971, 0.755
in AAA:  3.389, 3.300, 1.944, 1.308, 1.034, 0.838

So as you can see, very different ratios in the diesel version for  
the TDI.  Hayden

" Those who are willing to sacrifice Liberty for Security, deserve  
neither Liberty nor Security."  Ben Franklin
"Dictatorships all have common factors:  a government controlled by  
one party, a leader who claims to have special powers outside the law  
to keep the country "safe", secret prisons where people are locked up  
without charges or trial and government opponents are branded as  
unpatriotic and charged with aiding the enemy."
