087 vs. 089 slushbox questions
In reading through "The Mysterious Audi" from Robert Bentley, the indication
is that there are two types of slushbox available for both the 4K and 5K cars.
But there is nothing in the Bentley manual to indicate the differences between
the two types. Nor is there any indication as to what differences there may
be between those used for 4K cars versus those used in 5Ks.
Can any listers tell me where in the Bentley this information is hidden?
(Have both the 4K and 5K books.) Or can someone shed some light on this?
Reason is our 5K is losing the reverse/3rd gear clutch pack and I've just run
across a trans out of a 4K that has less than 3K miles on a rebuild. They
look similar, but I don't know what identifying marks/parts to check to
determine if they will interchange.
It would be nice if there were a way to be sure of the gear ratios and stuff
before we put it in the car.
Thanks.
