<< I am looking for some information regarding the 5-speed transmission
 fitted to 1989-1991 Audi 200 front-wheel drive cars and those fitted
 to earlier 5kt/100 motors. First of all, I understand that the later
 models had a electronic speed sensor attached to the box where the
 earlier models had the cable for the speedometer; is this correct?
 Next, is it a simple matter to install the electronic sensor into the
 position where the cable attachment used to be in order to fit a
 earlier gearbox in place of the manual gearbox fitted to the 1989-1991
 manual 200t?  The idea would be to source a early box and rethread the
 existing fitment hole to take/hold whatever sensor needs to be
 inserted. A part number for such a compatible gearbox would go a long
 way on this end, if possible to find.

If this is an 016 transmission we are discussing then an electronic sensor
will fit into a transmission with a mechanical drive and vice versa.  The diff
covers are the same the only difference is in the adaptor that screws into the
cover..
