That looks like a straight and clean car. Too bad it's dead.
So there is the regular transmission gears 5 fwd, 1 reverse, then a reduction gear, then the final drive (ring and pinion) for the front diff. There is also a reduction gear for the rear differential as well.Thanks for the info, Reddok.
So if I am understanding correctly, there is a ratio for each of the gears (5 forward, 1 reverse), then the final drive ratio for the differential in the front of the case, but then this "third" change between the output shaft of the trans and the differential? I assume physically located at the rear portion of the unit?

I was thinking about that. In my [non expert] analysis, it would be a matter of overlaying the expected gear ratio values from the FAL TCM into the GMR TCM.Perhaps you could find someone who can tune the trans computer.

sell me the 2010 jetta! i Love doing the CCTA head swaps. Down to a science at this point. i did 3 last month!
edit... in for updates
Nice wheels on the trailer!Here is the crashed car still on the trailer. I have to get some more pieces out of it.
Here's my Sport Utility Variant, patiently awaiting its TDI transplant (and probably leaving an oil stain under it from the leaky AWM ):
The Vanagon behind it would also like a TDI transplant, but it is already a diesel (and a manual ) so that might be a bit easier!
Brian, I have some A4 Quattro driveline parts available if you want to convert to 5 speed manual - gearbox, rear diff and subframe assembly, and axles. I don't have a spare 3rd pedal or shifter though. PM me if you want it, maybe I'll trade you for your free Beetle if you still have it If I remember correctly the Audi donor was a 1.8t gasser.
