Hi everybody,

I have a chance to buy one rare 1987 Coupe Quattro B2.

My question is, does anybody know how strong is his transmission and gearbox comparing with Audi Coupe S2 with 3B and ABY engines?

I know that URquattro's transmission is stronger than 01A and 01E, but what about Coupe Quattro?

Current engine in Coupe Quattro is 2226ccm with 136hp and future plan is to put in there some AAN engine, so this is the main reason for this question

Thank You all in advance.

Best regards!

The 87 Coupe quattro has a "016" 5spd transmission that has 4.11 to 1 crown and pinion (same as the 01E for example) so on paper it will work. At this point, I wouldn't worry about a future issue. *IF* you ever put an AAN into it, you will very likely be able to source a used 01E transmission *IF* you break the 016. The thing is to NOT abuse the transmission with high RPM clutch drop starts. This is true of the 01E as well.

Assuming the price is good and the body not rusted, go for it.

BTW, I see you got postive responses on the S2 forum so definitely go for it. http://www.s2forum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=52098
