Default Quattro swap

Hello.
I´m trying to do an engine swap on my Audi 80 avant. It is a fwd car and i would like to convert to a quattro Tdi.
At the rear i have a quattro axle that came from a 1995 B5 A4 Quattro and the rear diff has a code CKJ20045, which i think has a 37:9 ratio.
Can someone tell me which quattro gearbox has the same gear ratio to be placed there?

The idea is to convert to a Quattro using: Pd130 engine + 6 speed quattro gearbox + rear B5 quattro axle.

Thanks!

The 6 speed transmission from a b5 s4 would work, as it also has a matching final drive of 4.11, code DSY.

I may be mistaken, but I was under the impression that it's needlessly difficult to adapt a fwd Audi to quattro, even if that was an option for that particular model. The unibodies are different, missing mounting brackets, fuel tanks are different and get in the way, and probably many other obstacles. But, with enough dedication anything is possible.

Do you know if the gear box from an B5 S4 will adapt to a Pd130 diesel engine???

At the front i need to make new engine and gear box mounts, but that´s the easy part
The hard part is matching all the right components!

Thanks!
