Why would a 2002-2003 Audi 3.0 V6 w/01E not work in this instance?
Shifter is different on B6 chasiss.
Are you saying that you can use the passenger side transmission bracket is the same for an auto and manual? If so, that is not correct. The auto is much wider than a manual and uses different brackets.
Do i need that platw between trany and engine?
That's determined by your choice of clutch and flywheel, not by the engine/transmission. A 240mm clutch will typically need a spacer. An 01E very much prefers a DMF, rather than a SMF and spring clutch disc, which combined with a 240mm clutch means you need the spacer to prevent the clutch from running against the bellhousing
Thanks.....cause is hard to find a spacer......
Then stick to a 228mm clutch and DMF
That spacer from audi s4 2004 is the same?
This isn't true, after 2002. later engines have bolt patterns that have different bolting patterns.
No
Hello, what did you end up doing with the turbo support? I finally got all the pieces together and we’re currently intalling a DQS with the 240 clutch into my 2004 Passat but the starter and the turbo support don’t like each other.Rear main seal was just starting to leak, so I replaced it:
Installing the clutch line. This was the worst part of the install, and you'll want to do this with the trans out. ELSA tells you to remove the brake booster. The lower torx bolt is a PITA. Some have been able to bend the line slightly to get it to fit. I didn't want to force it through, so I loosed the booster and pulled it forward an inch. Un-thread the bolts almost all the way - they are pretty long. Clutch line position from underneath:
I reused all the original grommets, just poked a hole in them for the lines to go through.
New dowel pins: (old one in the pic for comparison)
Side by side comparison for size (I can actually pickup the 6 speed by myself!):
Old starter and new starter (now go sell yours to someone else!):
You will have to remove the turbo support bracket. I am looking into finding a different one that fits, or fabricating something. I also had to unbolt the a/c compressor to get the starter in. Yes - it's that big...
Fits like a glove:
They left an access hole in the driver's side mount to tighten the bolt....
