    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...

    The 01E's from mid-year 2001 and older on the B5's and 2000 and older on A6 had the 1-2 shift collar issues. I dont know the VIN split but it's out there easily on quattrolworld B5/S4 forum. 2001 and newer A6's, no problems. Can spot the old style and new style 01E's by looking at the shift linkage... good images and explanation at JHM>>> http://jhmotorsports.com/products/pi...comparison.jpg

    Notes here on trans codes with the problems listed here >>> http://jhmotorsports.com/products/pi...comparison.jpg

    The 1-2 shift collar is a problem if the trans has been driven hard and quick shifted or hard shifted a lot from 1st to 2nd. There are plenty old style 01E's out there running fine with original 1-2 shift collar. Just run through your due diligence on the trans before you purchase.

    I'm happy to announce that the ECU issues have been resolved by Addict Motorsport Design, LLC in the Seattle area.

    They will be offering an ECU tune for the 6 speed RS6 that has all the issues with ABS, cruise control, traction control, idle & overall drive-ability resolved. Yes, the clutch switch is wired directly into the ECU.

    My old car, now owned by Jason (Avus-RS6), was/is used for the ECU development and I've been informed that the transformation with the proper tune is very remarkable. Hopefully he will eventually add some input on this to any with an interest.

    The tune is essentially a Stage 1 offering based off of stock components. AMD may also be able to customize any tuning based off of other modifications.

    I have two steel flywheel kits that are available and ready for immediate shipment.

    Pricing for the ECU is $750 and it cannot be done remotely, so you're lucky. That's very good pricing considering you're going to end up at stage 1 power levels.

    I'm sure he'd be happy to do a complete conversion for you too.

    Otherwise, the ECU must be sent to AMD for flashing, etc.

    We are going to have to part purchase:
    I would think that SteveKen's plate would be first
    Then an O1E TDI for the torque levels
    Then the steel clutch
    Then pedal box

    scratch that - any one have a parts list for the conversion?

    Here's my back of the envelope list. I recently bought all the pieces to convert my S6 so it's pretty fresh in my mind.

    My kit is $2100 plus shipping and includes the adapter, Tilton starter w/ custom nose, steel flywheel, hardware and instructions.
    The tune through AMD is $750 (which requires you send them your ECU for the flash)
    Clutch & Pressure Plate $700 - $1500

    junkyard obtained items: ( or $2500 through www.audis4parts.com)

    01E Transmission w/ brackets from B5 S4 or C5 A6 2.7T $200 - $4000 C5 A6 2.7T
    C5 A6 2.7T Front axles $150/ pr
    C5 A6 2.7T Driveshaft $200
    B5 S4 or C5 A6 2.7T Pedal Assembly w/ switches and clutch master cyl $75
    B5 S4 or C5 A6 2.7T Shifter & linkages $75

    The rear diff does not need to be changed.

    The RS6 trans mounts must also be used as they are about 10mm taller than the 2.7T ones.

    Custom wiring involves making a reverse switch circuit, wiring in the neutral safety switch to the starter interlock relay and wiring the clutch vent valve switch to the ECU.

    The current software requires swapping the dry side of the ABS controller to a C5 S6 or W8 Passat unit. I've seen them for anywhere from $100 to $250. Further refinements of the code might eliminate the need for this though.

    One other thing to think about here is about 60 LBS lighter. The 01E (w/dual mass steel flywheel and clutch) on my allroad is 61 lbs lighter than the old slushbox. I imagine the RS6 ZF is slightly heavier than the allroad ZF. But, someone should weigh difference between RS6 ZF and the 01E. ttboost, did you weigh?

    As I recall, the RS6 slushbox was about 145lbs with fluid...01E is about 68lbs if I recall..I can weigh that one again..my RS6 box is gone...
