Hi Everyone, I realize I'm a new poster on this forum but if you check me out on kitcentral you'll find several hundred posts I've made over the years. In this case I wanted to let everyone know that I have decided to sell my Audi 5N transaxle. This would be a very economical way to get a completely rebuilt transmission with limited slip into your car. It has been fully rebuilt with receipts totaling $4,500 and never put on the road. It includes a Porsche 944 Turbo limited slip differential and reinforcement plate at the rear cone. This transaxle is a longstanding, economical and road-proven transmission used for up to 400hp on the GT40, Diablo & other mid-engine cars. Gear ratios are:
1st gear - 3.60
2nd gear - 2.13
3rd gear - 1.36
4th gear - 0.97
5th gear - 0.73
final drive - 4.11
these ratios are perfect for the BMW V12 or a longitudinally-mounted V6 and will work for a V8 if you don't intend to do a lot of highway driving. German Transaxle of America in Bend, Oregon has a 3.875 ring & pinion in stock for $400 that will make it a better drive for your V8 if you're really worried about the revs (2500 @ 65MPH vs 2750). This would effectively make it an AAZ transmission which is the most desirable one to use with the V8s. For whatever adapter you need you can get it from
eric@kitcarchassis.com for an extremely reasonable price or call him at 214.606.2457. Feel free to mention my name when you call him if you want (Greg Downey).
I also have the NAERC shifter, shift cables, new in box custom-made CV Tech axles, and speedometer signal converter (this device converts the Audi speedo output into a signal your gauge can use - this is why you see so many "finished" replicas with non-working speedos. Yours won't be one of them!) to go along with it so you can get a complete package all in one place. I'm asking $1,900 for the transaxle by itself (with the signal converter) or $2,400 for the complete setup with shifter and axles. All of this is located in the Portland, Oregon area. I am very adept at packaging and shipping large items so don't worry about that either.
Please PM me your email address for pictures and I'll get them over to you. I'm also available to discuss via phone if you prefer - 503.515.6187.
Thank you, and happy 2017 everyone!
Greg
