Are there any members that can get transmissions from Europe? Or can I just purchase one in the States?

Also will a Audi a4 or A6 manual fit in a Passat?

And one more thing, is there a good way to put a Quattro manual, from an Audi, into the Passat?

Sorry for all the questions. I have been searching for quite a while and I can't even find gear ratios for the different manual transmissions.

Thanks for any help.

There are tons of info in this forum. Your best bet is to get a full kit from Frans here on the club. Yes a transmission from a A4 or A6 will physically fit. However most are quattros.

I highly recommend a 5 speed over a 6 speed. Unless you have a Passat 4 motion you will not want to install a Quattro system in a non 4 motion Passat. The floor pan in the back is different between the two.

Thank you guys. That was all the info I needed. That saved me a lot of research.

I think I will stick with the 5 speed and front wheel drive.
