How does the cost of a rebuild compare to fitting another one?

Is this a better route to go as presumably a rebuilt box, if serviced properly, will last for a long time whereas there is no guarantee how long a used one will last or how it was cared for in the previous car?

Rebuild is about the same price as getting a swap for a remanufactured job.. about 2k fitted.

The 01E / 01X 6-speed manual bolts directly to any V8 block - 3,6, 3,7 4,2L 32/40V without any issues.

The manual transmission, both 01A 5-speed, and 01E 6-speed are multi-fitment, i.e will bolt to ALL Audi blocks, from I4 to V10. The only exception as far as V8 fitment goes, is the C5 RS6, which due to the massive torque converter (shared with the the W8 VW Phaeton) means the block has a different bolt pattern to regular V8's, and requires a slightly different approach to run an 01E.
