audi a4 engine and 5 speed box in a bay

Still a little concerned about lubrication if the box is upside down.

 

this man made a tool using a torche wrench with bits added and a bendix cog on the end , he places the socket on the nut on the clutch plate , with some thing in between he made the bendix cogg on the fly wheel for every i rotation of the torche wrench the nut tuns 4 times , lol owen nw
he then said look in the bottom shelf i make all my own specialist tools too deatr to buy lol owen nw

 

he towes a race prepared beetle behind it

 

As long as it doesn't have an oil pump in it, it'll be fine!!

Gearboxes are generally (approx) half their free volume filled with oil, and the oil viscosity is high for cling and fling oiling

 

Really interested in this, ive just got my first 1974 2l bay and i'm falling in love with it so much so that i would love to drive it as a every day car! Only prob is the 20 mpg would cost a fortune for the amount of miles i do so this would be the answer to all my probs, my other car is a 1.9 tdi passat so i know the engines and they are fantastic!

Is there any more info on this swap over? Did he have to extend shafts? Where did he mount the rad? Any over heating probs? The more info the better i seriously want to do this ;-)

 

Have a look at the vwkd forum. There's a wealth of info on all sorts of conversions there.
