If you use the driver side transmission mount from a V6 manual gasser than the subframe does not need to be changed. That's what many, including I, did. Just get a TDI transmission and all the other parts are available on from different model Audi/VWs that were sold here. The transmission is the most important part.
Did the guy in Kitchener have any transmissions?Thanks! I am working on sourcing the FHN as we speak.
Starting to slowly piece everything together
Haven't called him, will call him today.Did the guy in Kitchener have any transmissions?
The auto crank is shorter than the manual crank. The regular needle bearing for a 1.8T will work fine if you don't drive it all the way into the crank. Just leave it flush with the end of the flywheel pilot and it will work fine.
That thread you were reading pictures some savage grinding down the entire flywheel pilot of an auto crank so that he can stick a large ball bearing inside the flywheel to act as a pilot bearing. This method is not a good one...
QuickTDI did my ECU flash, he is a vendor for TdTunning and sice he is near Grand Band is pretty close to you. He is a very straight up person too. No drama or excuses after excuses.
My 6 speed is in London daily....Thank you Imo000
If you are ever in woodstock again or around this area, let me know. I'd like chat about your car/swap a bit more if possible and see the car again.

"- Right transmission mount and wiring connector for reverse light from a manual V6 Passat"
The right transmission mount from ANY b5 manual transmission Passat can be used. The LEFT transmission mount MUST be from a V6 Passat in order to fit a B5.5 TDI originally equipped with an auto trans.
Manual.
It isn't the rubber isolator itself that you need, it is the big cast aluminum piece that bolts to the side of the transmission and sits on top of the rubber mount. You will need both sides, the right is common to all 5 speed transmissions but the left side is only used on the V6. I can post an etka screenshot when I get home.
Does anyone have the part number for the required v6 mount?
Right trans mount 8D0 399 114S
Left trans mount 8D0 399 113AG
