i think my 84 4kq has an 016 trans? its the close ratio one. is that the same in the 83 and 84 urq? or if i had an urquattro and wanted my mack truck gearing would i have to stuff the 4kq tranny in there? thanks urqers

I'm pretty sure the transmissions are the same. The final drive in the urq is 3.89:1. I think it's the same in the 84 4kq. In 85-87, the final drive is 4.11:1.

If you want 4:11 FD in an ur q, you will need the rear diff from an '84/early '85 4kq with the one piece housing.

Little more work than just switching out the diff's, but well worth it IMO.

Fun, fun, vroom, vroom.......

Yes, lots of work. Subframe, shift linkages, axles, ...

Mr.FRU-T-Pants

Haven't really addressed that yet.

Thanks,

F&R subframe, mounts, etc. same PN#'s
prop shaft SAME PN#'s
shift linkage SAME PN#'s
the quattro uses 2 of the 857 407 271 A and 2 of the 857 407 272 A complete drive shafts and that is the only difference

Mr.FRU-T-Pants

Are you saying an S2 6sp tranny(CRB), will fit into an UrQ without any modification to the subframe? That would be nice...

And will the retaining clip for the shift linkage ball(at the tranny), from a US 90-93 Quattro Coupe fit the S2 6sp tranny? I need a replacement part and I would love to hear it's the same part no. as the European counterpart.

Thanks,

or Dean Treadway directly. He has an 83 urq with the 6 speed from an S2 in it. 2bennet did the work on it.

Mr.FRU-T-Pants

Cool, I may call Andrew in the next week or so. Thanks.
