I would much prefer a manual car to an Auto but there have been times when I'd prefer an Auto. Traffic jams and off-roading are two I can think of straight away.
This gearbox is used in the RS6 so strength is not in question, the reliability of any of after 100,000 miles is though. MG

A seriously fine piece of work, well thought out and accomplished with a fair few obstacles overcome with analytical thinking and engineering skills
 You must be megga pleased with the result  Respect!

Thanks, I'm pleased that it's up and running.
I'm not so please with my insurance company. When I bought the car, I asked how much extra it would be to swap the policy. The answer was very low, under £50. Excellent. As I only wanted to drive it for a month or so. Now that I've fixed it and it's ready to go, they've changed their minds. We made a mistake sir. The addition premium is an extra £560 for the remainder of your policy!!  I can get a new policy for less than that. So now I'm faced with having to shell out around £700 just to drive it around for a while. GRRRRRR It might be coming to pieces again very quickly! MG

I was actually going to suggest a straight trade before you fixed the tranny, as I will shortly have no use for the ZF. Mine will be coming out soon, in favour of a built 01E.Oh well!

Hey, no disrespect. I'm not doing this to prove a point or to try to annoy anyone.
For some, these cars are the be all and end all. For others, they're a pointless extravagance. I'm into VW T3 Transporters. I bought this car because I wanted the engine and it was the cheapest way to get all the parts I need for the conversion. I haven't decided one way or the other yet. It all comes down to money. Now that it's running, I want to drive it and make sure that I'm happy with the engine. I want to run an Audi engine with over 350bhp, using the original ECU and injection system but as a manual. This really is just about the only engine which ticks all the boxes and is affordable in the process. MG

At the very least your rebuilt and inspected gearbox should raise a few quid on here as it's less of an unknown quantity than one that's just come out of a runner with unknown internals/service background and you'd have some confidence it'll last a good long while now
