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



SteveKen
August 13th, 2010, 22:02
FOR SALE:

This kit adapts the 01E transmission to the RS6 block and crankshaft.

For $2,100 USD, the kit includes:

Transmission adapter plate
Racing starter with custom nose (uses stock wiring harness)
Aluminum flywheel
Hardware kit
Detailed installation instructions

http://www.kendrish.com/galleries/RS6/adapter/kit_ptype.JPG

This kit was professionally developed by an experienced engineering firm via 3D laser scanning and CMM technologies to ensure accuracy, safety and rigidity. The adapter and starter nose are CNC machined from 6061 aluminum.

The kit must be used in conjunction with the following OEM or aftermarket pieces (not included) for a complete mechanical conversion from an automatic to manual:

From the C5 A6 2.7T or C5 S6 manual transmission models, the drive shaft, front axles, transmission brackets, clutch pedal and all associated mechanical components, slave cylinder and all associated hydraulic components, reverse switch and VR sensor can be used

The transmission mounts and three (3) M12 transmission to engine mounting bolts are retained from the C5 RS6

The flywheel is designed with the appropriate dimensions to mate with the 01E and use the C5 2.7T or C5 S6 clutch and pressure plate and throwout bearing. So you would need to source a clutch and pressure plate to your liking based off of these OEM modes for reference for reference.

There are many different variations of the 01E than can be selected for use. The final drive of the front differential will dictate which rear differential is required.

Please note, and it's been stated before: This kit only facilitates the mechanical mating of the RS6 motor to the 01E. On my end, the ECU modifications are not available, but hopefully will be in due time.

Quantities of the CNC components are currently underway and my lead times for flywheels and starters are approximately 2 - 3 weeks.

Shipping will be quoted separately for each inquiry and delivery can be made to anywhere on the globe where the RS6 exists.

Pricing for a steel flywheel option will be available very soon, too.

Please feel free to PM me or post with any questions.

Awesome and congratulations on getting the first step in a solution to the Achilles heel/hell of the RS6!

1. Adapter Kit
2. C5 S6 manual transmission
3. C5 S6 clutch and pressure plate and throwout bearing
4. ECU programming...
5. Wheel barrow of cash (had to toss that in there :) )

Anything else?

It'll be a wheel barrow but a lot less than $20K-$40K companies charged in the past. Nice job on the kit! Has anyone confirmed if ANY of the A6/S6 manual trans will be able to handle the brutal torque of the 4.2 V8 TT?

Benman
August 14th, 2010, 20:09
If it's the same trans as the B5 S4 then the answer is yes. Champion Audi had ZERO tranny issues when they used it for the World Speed Challenge GT RS 6s. :cheers:

AMD in Washington has a 600whp b5 S4 on pump gas that runs the 01e and it isnt having any issues. Obviously a good clutch will need to be used for the RS6. The best way to do this is to find a parts car a6 for everything else. This would leave a lot of room for bigger turbos and some higher flowing manifolds!! Maybe I can do this someday lol. Great job on the work again though.

Steel flywheel is actually going to add $125 to the kit.

The manufacturer of the steel flywheel states that it can be resurfaced, but it's discouraged.

sounds like you'll also need the front axles.

is a new driveshaft confirmed? out of a A6 2.7tt?
how about modifying our current one? is it because it's carbon?

"From the C5 A6 2.7T or C5 S6 manual transmission models, the drive shaft, front axles, transmission brackets, clutch pedal and all associated mechanical components, slave cylinder and all associated hydraulic components, reverse switch and VR sensor can be used"

anyone got any part numbers for some of these items?
is the clutch pedal assembly separate from the brake pedal? or does it come together with a brake pedal as a package?

SteveKen
August 17th, 2010, 23:52
I'm working on this Terry.

I've done it on my S6 and it's still somewhat fresh in my mind. I'll be scrubbing through ETKA tomorrow.

There are also many other things I'm contemplating. Cooling the transmission a-la the euro S6 or the allroad. Or can we divert the stock RS6 trans cooling to additional water cooling? Either way, it will require custom lines, fittings, etc.

As for the steel flywheel, if it needs to be replaced, I could possibly keep stock of them or direct you to the manufacturer.

SteveKen
November 21st, 2011, 16:46
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
November 21st, 2011, 19:11
The allroad has a different final drive ratio so you'd have to swap the rear diff. (The RS6 is 4.11:1, right?)

http://www.elektro.com/~audi/01E/

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.

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...

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/pictures/crossrod/Early_or_Late_Cross_rod_comparison.jpg

Notes here on trans codes with the problems listed here >>> http://jhmotorsports.com/products/pictures/crossrod/Early_or_Late_Cross_rod_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.

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 (http://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?

I have a 4:1 center dif, per Steve. When I get the car back from AMD, I'll do up some acceleration and dash videos.

The car has to be buttoned up as the intercoolers are being rebuilt due to bad leaking (new cores are being welded between the stock end tanks). The IC rebuild is more affordable than any aftermarket option and will have more flow than stock as the cores are thicker. We're doing the same number of charge rows as stock, 14, but apparently there can be as many as 17 charge rows for yet more flow but I didn't want to wait 2 months for the custom cores to be built, not to mention the extra cost. Also, I never plan on running meth so I'd prefer better cooling to maximum flow. Lastly, we are keeping the boost down on my car for now as one turbo seems to be nearing the end of its life as evidenced by a fair amount of oil in one of the IC's and some noise, as well as a slipping clutch at about 500awtq. CM stage 3 is not advisable for these cars. I'll be getting AMD's clutch when I'm ready, which seems to be more than adequate for the power that these cars will produce.

I drove it for a weekend with the functioning ABS/ESP tune at stock power levels, soooo much smoother and nicer than the GIAC tune that just didn't seem to act right with the manual transmission. Props to AMD for taking on the challenge and figuring this out, apparently it was no small feat.

RS6 6mt Update:

So I have my car back, with a bit more power than stock. We're doing 400/440 awhp/awtq right now due to slipping clutch. I'm a little sad about this but in all reality it's a good amount of power and moves out very well. I'd be happier with 450/525 +/- that it should be doing. The AMD tune is stock smooth and all systems are fully functioning with no dash lights. Intercoolers are all new, built by AMD using stock end tanks, and do the job quite nicely. My RS6 isn't as fast as my track car due to being 1200lbs more, but I did manage to bump the rev limit in 2nd gear fairly solid a couple of times yesterday due to being surprised at how quick it wrapped out the gear. It's so quite now with the SE exhaust I put on and it revs out the low gears deceptively fast, faster than I'm used to in my B5S4 with K03's.

Now for the gripes. Suspension is shot, it rattles like a tin can and isn't good at around town speeds. I'm going with KW V3's.

One turbo is on the way out as evidenced by gobs of oil on one intercooler. They don't make excessive noise and we're running low boost so they should be ok for a while. I'll Probably have them rebuilt with new CHRA's when I do the clutch (not normally the time to do turbos, but read below).

My biggest gripe is that the clutch job will be double normal cost as the engine and tranny have to be dropped together! This was not know by me until recently, either that the clutch would not hold tuned stock turbo power levels or that a clutch job is so silly with this adapter plate. I'll be installing an AMD clutch that is used on their crazy B5 cars that make more power than I ever will, when I can't stand it any more.

I love this car but it's turning in to more of a project than I was anticipating. Perhaps it will redeem itself when I drive it across the country this summer, it is an AWESOME highway monster even with the conservative power levels.

That's about all for now, ciao.

Email AMD jason@addictmotorsport.com. He'll answer this. It's basically his Clutchmasters built clutch kit I'll be installing that he uses on super high power applications. Single disk IIRC.

Dear Avus,


Thanks for the update.

This whole 6 speed 01E conversion matters to me more than ever now because I bought another RS6. It is coming from the West Coast this week. I got it for under $16K BUT it had a known bad torque converter that the PO has been driving it with for quite some time.

Once it gets here and I assess the situation it will come down to either:

1) Tozo to rebuild autobox with the torque converter sublet to ACE,

or

2) Cast aside the autobox entirely, source an 01E of my own, buy the SteveKen compatibility kit, along with other related parts (like the 3 pedal cluster stuff) and then send the car out to Seattle to get the electronics right as you have done.

I don't want CELs the rest of the time I own the car. I am also NOT able to do any of the conversion myself. So I won't take this route UNLESS there is someone willing to do this for me as virtually a turnkey mod from start to finish. I know that will cost. But quality work is never cheap.

We'll see what happens.

I concur with this.

I've had a long conversation with Jason @ AMD and have learned a lot from him. The fact that he got the ECU sorted out is especially esteem worthy. I only wish I lived near him 2 years ago when all this first got underway.

As for you I trust your judgement as well and am willing to admit that I do not have the experience on the driveability and characteristics of the car and how it should be. Read this as a legitimate plea of ignorance when it comes to this, as I'm not an aggressive style driver at all. Just ask my wife.

I have some additional thoughts and questions because you make it seem like the clutch will need to be replaced with every oil change.

With normal or spirited driving on a stage 1 tune, what is your estimate on how long a well sorted clutch like AMD's setup will last?

Having done 4 C5 conversions and a few B5 2.7T projects, I'd say a clutch swap with the RS6 is a degree of difficulty lower than a torque converter job and a degree of difficulty higher than a 2.7T or C5 N/A 4.2 swap.

I've done it on the RS6 with and without dropping the motor and trans together. It can be done on jackstands as well. I never said it was easy, though. Gabor doesn't pull the engine when he gets a car either.

Anyway, your comment on the clutch swap got me thinking...

ttboost
February 14th, 2013, 20:52
You can absolutely get the 01E out, for a clutch change or whatever, without pulling the motor. Might have to remove the passenger side down pipe, but it can be done. It's a b*tch, but it can be done. I had mine in, pulled it back out, and installed another one in a weekend.

I can and will go out of pocket for the right price. Unfortunately I have little to no skills so I will be hiring all the work. I'm curious what kind of money it would cost me for total conversion.

Probably..but with no autobox or TC, probably wouldn't need the warranty!!! (yeah right!!!)

Seriously...my thoughts are...
If you have to pay someone, turnkey...probably $7k-$10k would be a safe and reasonable bet. There are places online that advertise $12k for the kit and $15k for install...

I sourced all my parts from various places and did all my work myself and spent way less, but I can't recommend this route, but suffice to say, I had no choice. Look at it this way..$2100 for Steves kit, $2000-$4000 for swap parts and $1000-$1500 for a new clutch?...now your at $5k-$8k or so with no labor. What does your local shop charge? Have they done a swap? Will they do it? It's not an easy job.

Steve,

I anticipate the clutch lasting for several years or more as it will not be my daily driver. The clutch job went from a basic job (in theory) to double the cost (I don't do this stuff myself) so it was more of a rant than anything. Because of this I'm holding off for now. I didn't know the adapter made it an extremely difficult/time consuming clutch job, Jason didn't know this either until digging further.

ttboost, I pay shop labor rate so the extra PITA translates to more $$$ depending on the time. How many hours did it take you?

I understand about shop rates. I am fortunate that I have a place here that I can work on stuff..otherwise I would still be whining the stock sluchbox blues.

I don't see how the adapter plate is a hinderance? I used the factory spacer and it's not any more difficult. I didn't really keep a stop watch running, but my best guess is I spent 25-35hrs, not including gathering parts. A day here, couple hours there and there...it adds up...then tuning and dyno time, etc...adds up to weeks of work in the end...

I hope to have mine back today.

I'm utilizing all the bolt holes that the automatic transmission uses, so I'm catching the one to the left of the left most soft plug. This makes it tricky to get past the driver's turbo when it's installed. See below. With the normal spacer, I don't like how the upper oil pan isn't supported by the transmission. I've tried it and the assembly does sag if you support only the back of the transmission and the front of the engine when the green bolt holes and the starter is attached with two nuts ans bolts.

What are your driving impressions so far? I drove the MTM/Sportec RS600 with the 6 speed for about 5 minutes and I remember it being a transformed car. Does it feel any faster? SteveKen claimed a 13% increase in WHP on back to back dyno runs. How does it feel?

Avus-RS6
February 15th, 2013, 21:24
UrS6,

With a very conservative "chipped" tune it is absolutely a beast. (400awhp/440awtq at the wheels) If it wasn't a one off, I'd sell my Avant and daily the RS6. Tall 6th gear has little pull until 80mph but makes for quiet cruising and great fuel mileage. Click into 4th or 5th at any highway speed and instant torpedo. There is definiately more of the engine's power getting to the ground with a manual versus auto. Auto is probably quicker out of a hole on a launch (with me driving the stick) as I don't launch (aka abuse the tranny), the manual is superior in every other regard IMO. LWFW is not an issue with a custom tune, throttle blips, heel toe, etc are smooth and seamless, it acts like a stock MT car.

I know you were asking ttboost, but I had to interject. ;-) It's my new favorite car!

ttboost
February 16th, 2013, 01:10
I'll add my .02. I think I may be in love with my car again...maybe.

Spent some time on the Mustang dyno, but we still have a little tuning to do, but gonna drive it this weekend some more, now that we fixed some glitches due to my bigger wastegates.
We ran out of injector at 4400rpm's with the stock FPR (16lbs of boost). Stuck a 5bar in and ran out of injector at or just over 5200. Going to upgrade injectors next week and keep tuning. Making way more power than I thought it would and feels good so far...likely a combination of getting some driveline loss back and full catless "testpipes"...
it's fair to say it is WAYYY more fun to drive and MUCH faster.

Avus-RS6
February 16th, 2013, 01:17

February 16th, 2013, 01:29
What tune do you have that only adds 1 or 2lbs of boost?

Avus-RS6
February 16th, 2013, 01:39
I'm guessing at the boost. 12psi tune was hitting 485-500awtq on AMD's MD500 (a true heartbreaker) and spinning up the clutch badly so it's down to 440awtq and the clutch holds fine. It's an AMD custom tune. It'll be over a year before I can do what I want power wise to the car, my track car needs attention (full cage and probably turbos soon).

Avus-RS6
February 16th, 2013, 01:43
I'm corrected, it's running 11psi.

lswing
February 16th, 2013, 02:09
Interesting conversation about the clutches. I think I've always felt some light slip/shudder in my auto when giving it full beans. My Revo sps goes up a pound or two in boost increments, one good thing about it.

Sounds like fun there, y'all are getting some serious power.

I'm not sure it can be purchased directly from clutch masters. This is about all I know. Best to contact AMD, Jason can tell you more.

This is what's currently installed on my old car. Now Jason's. From what I can tell, it's ok for stock levels but not ok for anything else.

Yes, this is true. I did a lot of homework regarding my clutch decision. I spoke to Clutchmasters, South Bend, Spec, etc...

Everyone told me that to hold the power we wanted,(500whp), I needed a dual disc clutch, minimum, anywhere between $2000-$3500. Spec was the only one that had a single disc setup that would hold the power, without sacrificing drivability.

I bought the Spec Stage 3+, which a lot of B5 S4 guys use for 500+whp. The first 500 miles were a little chattery taking off and in reverse, but now at 700-800 miles or so, it's minty and I have no regrets. At only around $1000-$1200 or so, very affordable too. We'll see how long it lasts. Don't plan on living at the dragstrip either. Anyone local wants to try it...let me know...

Therefore, more of the kits (adapter, flywheel, starter, hardware, instructions) will be in stock by the end of August.

Adapters are on their third revision, which should facilitate easier removal of the 01E with the turbos installed. (the overall width of the adapter is about .75 in narrower)

The flywheels are on their third revision, too, and are only recommended for use with the adapter.

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 (http://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.

ok, just wanted to sum things up:
adaptor kit - $2100
clutch - $1500 (don't want to skimp here)
axles, driveshaft, clutch pedal assy and shifter, 01E transmission: $2500
Torsen center diff - $550 (optional but sounds like it would be a very nice addition!)
ECU tune for functional ABS, etc - $750
30 hours labor@$100/hour - $3000

about $10,400 for complete swap...say $10K~11K.
$7000 minus the Torsen diff and self-installed.

Not a small chunk of change but in the realm of modifying cars, pretty cheap actually.

Not sure if I will produce any more after these three are sold since it's a lot of inventory to sit on in order for the reasonable pricing with min qty of 5 flywheels and 10 adapters at a pop....

Is this kit still available? Having Slush Box issues for the second time in two years, 01E swap seems to be the most logical route to go.

They are still available bit there is a lead time of 4-8 weeks. Please PM me for more details.

If anyone is interested and wants to reserve one, PM me.

I'm now sold out of the remaining kits ready for delivery next month.

Moving forward, the only way I can supply more is basically a group buy situation of two (preferably three) or more people committed to 50% deposits up front with a 4-6 week lead time.

Another update.

I've managed to tweak some supplier orders and now have one more kit available for delivery by mid February 2015. Anyone interested?

Oh man. I really picked the wrong time to sell my car... haha

This looks awesome! Great work man!

Ad for my car is in the For Sale forum if anyone's looking for a GREAT car for a 6 speed swap. Could even sell the auto trans from it. Roughly 33,000 miles on it. Dealer installed. (Didn't mean to jack your post Steve.)

No more kits for now. Anyone with an interest (or renewed interest), please PM me to see about another pre-order type situation.

In the midst of doing S6-to-RS6 conversion and using Steve's kit. Quality and workmanship is fantastic! Can state with certainty that the 01E is about 150 lbs (can lift by myself) and that slushbox is quite a bit heavier.

Will be doing this as soon as my AT starts giving me fits. What is our AT transmission worth if I don't wait?
