To whoever has experience and will help me install my tranny on Saturday.

Nickle · « **Reply #1 on:** November 29, 2006, 01:14:03 PM »

Ouch. The removal is easy, but the install is a PITA. When and where are you planning on doing this, Matt? I have plans for Saturday, but I might be able to come by to lend a hand. You will need an extra set of hands to lift the fat lady back into the car. That process took me literally hours.

I have a clutch centering tool you can use too.

Giggidy · « **Reply #2 on:** November 29, 2006, 01:19:35 PM »

At the base hobby shop.........a ll the lifts and tools that would be needed they should have. And I believe the centering tool should come with the kit, should'nt it??

The hobby shop is nice. Lots of helpful tools there to make things easier.

I don't know. Which base are you referring to? I would need to be brought on since I do not have a military ID.

Tips:
bring about six plastic ziplock bags to put over the axle shafts where they mount to the tranny, both ends of the drive shaft (you will have to remove it), and the three output plates on the tranny where each of those bolt too.

Spray ALL the exhaust bolts with antirust as soon as you can. Start today and spray 'em every day until Saturday.

You may need to modify (shorten) a wrench to you can remove the tranny to block bolts. They are pretty difficult to get to.

it will take two people or a tranny lift to get it back into the car. Aligning the tranny input shaft with the splines on the crank and pilot bearing is by far the most difficult part. Everything else should run smooth... at least it did for me.

This is an Audi A4 were talking about here? I have only done O2O and O2A and those are for the most part a one man lift from the garage floor right off your chest.

The quattro A4 manual tranny is definitely a two person lift. And even then, after the forth lift lifting it, my buddy and my arms were feeling it. If O2O and O2A are FWD VW trannys, I've lifted them before working at Best Foreign and there is a BIG difference in weight.

I believe he has a 2000 (?) A4 Quattro manual 1.8T. it's blue, in case that matters.

JettaGLXdriver · « **Reply #8 on:** November 29, 2006, 01:55:15 PM »

No problem. Doing Rico's clutch I was lifting his trans and motor off the mounts from my floor. I guess those beefcake suppliments paid off. LOL

I don't want to work on an Audi. Sorry. (unless its 30 years old and very simple)

Why's that? The entire removal and assembly process is actually pretty smooth. It was go pretty fast with two or more people. It's just the aligning of the tranny that is a PITA.

Giggidy · « **Reply #10 on:** November 29, 2006, 02:22:33 PM »

Yeah I could get you on base. It is in fact a 2000, and the sanotorin blue that Nick gets aroused from

Oh and I don't think I'm going to be crawling under my snow covered car to spray it lol.

It's worth it! Trust me. just open the hood and spray from the top. The turbo bolts and cat bolts are the most important.

JettaGLXdriver · « **Reply #12 on:** November 29, 2006, 02:36:00 PM »

I'd spray with PB blaster. Its the best stuff I have evar used.

That's what I use(d) and have no complaints. When you can break exhaust bolts loose without breaking the bolt, life is MUCH easier.

JettaGLXdriver · « **Reply #14 on:** November 29, 2006, 02:47:41 PM »

Yes for sure. I have used PB blaster for over 10 years on all kinds of stuff in factories then at home after I found some to buy locally. I used it to get the body to pan bolts loose on my Baja bug in Ohio when I had it all stripped down and I didn't break one bolt or round any bolt heads. I have been amazed at some of the stuff it will get loose.

I have to admit that Audi trans might actually go in and out easier than a VW one because VW decided to make the subframe stick out just enough to make the trans removal a M.F. when it could have obviously just came right out with a little thinking.

What time? I don't mind working on cars but sometimes the full day wrenching sessions make my back sore for days.

Giggidy · « **Reply #17 on:** November 29, 2006, 03:07:20 PM »

I'm flexible...... .....as long as it gets done. The guy I bought the clutch from said it would more then likely be in by Friday, if it is not I will Barry-style kick him in the nuts.

JettaGLXdriver · « **Reply #18 on:** November 29, 2006, 03:23:45 PM »

Let me talk to Nick before I say yes. I just am not familiar with these cars enough to be your goto person unless I have more information.

I might be able to help out some on Saturday and can lend a hand Sunday morning for sure. You know my number, Matt, so give me a call and let me know if you do need a hand Saturday and/or Sunday morning.

I don't think that auto hobby is open on Sun. And yes ;-) I do have your #

Nickle · « **Reply #29 on:** November 30, 2006, 08:42:35 AM »

Oh, one more tip. number the bolts that connect the tranny to the block and write down the order they were found in. They are all similar lengths, but very specific to their position. You'll see what I mean. I just drew the face of the block, labeled each bolt hole with a number, labeled the appropriate bolt with the same number, and wrote in the orientation (points front or rear).
