have one of you done this? how long did it take? and did you need a custom mount, was that all you needed? if i did swap did you use a push or pull clutch and what fly wheel did you use?

 

by S6 tranny, do you mean an FD tranny, or is that a typo?

 

yes.

 

basically FD tranny wont fit

 

damn. ok thanks

 

The basic guts of the trans is the same (FD to Turbo II), but the input shaft is too short.&nbsp So like sub9lulu says, it basically won't fit...

Isnt the S6 one weaker anyways? FD guys break them all the time(ask vosko), but i have heard of very few broken FC trannies.

 

It's all basically the same internals.&nbsp The FD trans has double-synchos on certains gears, so it's supposed to be more "robust", but others will argue otherwise.

hi guys im very interested in this too except i have a s5. im willing to do some custom fabrication if needed to make the fd tranny fit. i heard that you need to use the fc tranny bell housing...is there any other tips you guys can give me?

 

You need the FC input shaft on the transmission - the FD input shaft is about 1/2" shorter to fit with the thicker FC bell housing.

why wont the FD bellhousing work?

 

Why not a TurboII tranny/clutch? They're pretty bulletproof and much easier to install than an S6 tranny.
