FOR SALE (finally): 6 Speed 01E Adapter Kit for the C5 RS6

[milka]

ha, so long as my money isn't going to australia for this conversion... i should be fine...

Hey mate, that is just not very nice! Most Australians are honest and reliable! Just because there is one nutter out there please don't assume we are all like that!

How difficult would it be to do a 6 spd TIP trans conversion?

the C5 RS6 should have had the 6HP26 since it was already available at the time. Way stronger trans with less parts and less problems too.

Will it mate up? Issues?

[JSRS6]

considering this or the o1e.

+1, that would be cool too.

[ben916]

meaning the 6HP26? where can one be had that isn't from EU?

[snoopra]

How about the C5 Allroad manual trans? Should be stronger considering the mechanics of the car

[SteveKen]

I think the only difference between the Allroad and the A6/S4 manual is the gear oil pump.

I also think it might be very difficult to swap in a newer automatic. Would there have to be some custom TCU work done, among other things?

[kday]

The allroad has a different final drive ratio so you'd have to swap the rear diff. (The RS6 is 4.11:1, right?)

I agree swapping in a newer automatic would be extremely difficult.

I'm bumping this up to the top again, as I'm still selling these. The only thing not currently in stock is the starter, which is anywhere from 1-3 weeks for delivery.

The kit is time tested, with my car having nearly 11k miles on the conversion.

Nearly ten kits are out there running, most of them in the US, but I've also shipped to Norway and Switzerland.

Hi Mate!

I'm interested in your kit too. I'm from France. If the starter should be changed later. Is it a common starter or a custom one?

MP me your cell phone pls

Do you still have you car and did you ever get it sorted (ABS, Traction control etc...)?

I sold the car a few months ago. The ECU still causes the ABS and traction control to not function.

Bummer..all that work and you bailed? I'm trying to source a transmission now. Do you know if any 6speed from 97-04 A6 or S4 will work? Any year NOT work? Thanks Steve...

I'm still in the game, just not with that car. I have an S6 with a bad slushbox that I'm converting to a 6 speed in the next couple weeks for winter fun and have the RS6 drivetrain sitting in the garage for a spring conversion.

Believe me, if I had the grey matter and the time, the ecu would be done. There's no margin for a perfected ecu from the big tuners when they're making ton of money tuning late models now.

Some of you guys need to buy some kits from me so that I can pick up the pace on my projects. Lol.

As for the 01E, the newer the better. The synchros and shift collar for 1st and 2nd gear have been revised. I think that anything from a B5 or C5 would work.

Steve, the guy you sold your car to is going to try to take it to AMD for a custom tune to see if they can also get the ESP & ABS working right. He is currently borrowing my spare TCU to see if they need it or any hardware or software from it. I'll have to keep the list posted but I think he may still be a lurker here.

I'd love to see a solution available out there. I'm of the opinion that the TCU should be removed and the ECU needs to be smart enough to deal with the ABS's hardwired (and unchangeable) soft code. It's got to be a ton of reverse engineering. I do wish Jason at AMD luck on this.

My tuner will be able to do it, he just needs a car, IN HIS SHOP, for a period of time, to do the R&D. It was always our intention to do it with my car, as I am local, but with buying and selling houses and building a garage, blah blah blah, funds are always a problem and sourcing the parts is now another...

If someone has a 6 speed RS6 that needs the ABS, traction control etc...fixed, and you are willing to drive or ship your car to CT, I'm sure Tony at EPL would be willing to work with you. Trust me, it would be well worth it.

Steve, I think the owner of your new car has been in touch with him, through his shop, so maybe this is our opportunity. Tony is the one who told me about your car...I didn't believe it, that's why I posted!!!!! We just got my car retuned yesterday...man, it runs good...
