Sorry if this has been asked... If there is an FAQ already, but I can't find any info. SO
Has ANYONE taken a B5 4 Motion and adapted a BHW to it?
I have a 2002 V6 4 motion wagon and a 2004 BHW TDI auto.
I'm wonder IF IT"S Possible or If someone has done it, or some pointers to doing the converstion to a B5 TDI 4 motion?

TIA

I also have access to a 2004 V6 5spd that has a blown engine. Will a BHW connect to the 5spd but I'm sure it's not gonna work as the Gasser tranny wouldn't have the right gearing. So given that, I would need the correct tranny.
Does anyone know what the model of Tranny I would need for a Manual BHW-5spd tranny?

Im daily driving a 5 speed bhw passat a with v6 transmission. Does fine at 70 to 75 mph. Past that she wouldn't do well, at 70 to 75 im right at 3000 rpms. My passat is my work commuter car so I dont take the freeway anyway, i have another vehicle for road trips.

I have not seen a v6 5 speed 4 motion, only the rare w8 but i believe the w8 is 6 speed.

You cant use a fwd transmission with 4motion.
