Got the Audi splined clutch disc. They are cerametalic. Unsprung though but I won't be launching or anything so tranny should still be able to hold up.

nothing special just a computer tech... nowhere near where I wanted to be. I wanted to be programming video games and helping with the System Shock 3 project by now
Bbbbut.... I used to be a shipfitter....
that's how I got the little bit of knowledge I do have.

wow this is going to be a long painful process
so after reading of the weakness of the 01E with a naturally aspirated v8 hauling a small body(http://12v.org/urs/charlie_smith/01E/v8info/index.htm) there's no point in attempting the d2 body, even with it being aluminum.
so my plan is to sacrifice a spare 01e front diff section get it ready for a mold at a local casting plant. Add clay where needed, draft, reference points, etc.... I'll have it poured in steel, yeah I know heavy but I figure once coupled with mid section and rear diff section it'll weight about the same as the auto in there now.
The monarch will be able to swing the casting.
ill face the front and rear to length, use the reference points on the mold to set the input shaft and with a template get the front bell housing bolt pattern. once I have those holes ill use a jig. Set the real 01e on the jig which goes into it at a couple of bell housing bolt holes AND the input shaft, center it on the lathe for the remaining rear holes and internal shafts(individually lllloooonnng and slow),remove the original from the jig, keeping jig in the chuck and put the casting on the jig. Then drill, true it by boring then ream it. Good thing is with the front diff section of the 01e all the bearing surfaces have an insert, so I might not even need to ream. finally once I have the front and back done ill make a large 90 degree angle jig and do same with side holes.
and then run it... easier typed than done

O1E transmissions are really stout. They are good to well north of 600whp. You won't break it. The only issue is the 1-2 shift collar, and there are plenty of parts available to fix that.

The biggest downfall with the 01e is the failed 1,2 syncros. So replace those first.
Most people use a kit like this to rebuilt.
