I want to say that the Audi trans probably has the same "bones" as the ZF 8HP75 trans that's in the Ram pickups.
It is reputed to be about as bullet-proof as you can get.
I'm not sure what you're going to do about the control/programming, but Ram definitely got it right. It is, without a doubt, the best - and most intuitive - automatic trans I've ever driven. And I generally don't like automatics at all.
Good luck with your project.

Yes it is the same as the Dodge trans but for Audi Turbo lamik makes a TCU for it and you can have a virtual clutch watch the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Q7x-VVuSfc [This message has been edited by engine man (edited 11-19-2025).]

Well After thinking and thinking about the transmission I would like to run the 8HP but due to having to convert it to FWD and the price of the controler I do not think that is the way to go for me and i will be buying a 0B1 FWD manual transmissin so i will need peddals and a shifter

Ok i did some basic measuring I am coming up with 20.5 from the front of the number 1 bank head to bellhousing on my Ls and i think the Fieo axle center is 21 incehes from the top of the firewall back I am not sure how much the firewall slpopes forward at the bottom of the decklid hinges but i figure if i have a 1/2 inche clearance from the top of the heaf to the fire wall and with a 1 inch thick adaptor and the axle line on the trans is 1.6 inches behind the bellhousing mating surface i should end up with just over 2 1/2 axle offset i will have to run a remote electric water pump and low maunt alternator hell i might even get the AC pump back on it .

I will be talking to Maxxecu as they claim to be able to control VAG DSG transmission and i will need a ecu anyway so if I can do both engine and transmission buying on unit that would be great as i really like the dual clutch transmission
