thank you so much for this video, it helped me a lot to understand and make a decision on doing it or not (i got a audi quattro 2.5 v6 in my garage and I was perplex to upside down it)
Nice! My biggest concern with this application that you have to lower and engine and transmission so that your cv axles are not too high angle. How much cm or inches did you have to lower engine and transmission to get the cv axles at the same angle to where they were before having a flipped transmission?
HI, i have a question, im building a T25 with 1.8T flipped gearbox swap. Im using the gas gearbox with 108mm flanges. How do you recommend the axles? Cant find sizes anywhere and I do not have examples. Is there a difference between T25 gas or diesel axles? Do you make a flange adapter? And or is there a direct bolt on solution? Hope you can help me, Grtz Bart
Mr grumps has probably answered that for you. You will most likely need a 15mm spacer on the righthand side, that's what I had before. The petrol gearbox I had, had 100mm output shafts. Shafts are the same length on all models and 100mm CVS.
Hello. I am also working with t3 doppel. My plan is put also flipped Passat gearbox behind 1.8t. I wonder where you find adapter plate for that your great conversion. Beginning my plan was cut gearbox front end about 7cm line from the edge, but is anybody dan the aluminium welding that gearbox because it seems to be tricky or then I don't have a skill for that.
Hi. The adapter plate is available from Ultimate engineering in the UK. His name is Tim Shettle and he is on many forums. You have to remove 1.5cm from the front of the gearbox to allow fir the adapter thickness. I'd you take it to an engineering shop then you will have to dismantle the gearbox for them to mount it in their machine which is a lot of extra work. There is no welding involved
@@TheTinski07 It seems your diesel engine is tilted but my 1.8t gasoline engine will be straight vertikal position. Is it gearbox bolt circle pattern same those both engines. Thanks,i will send message to ultimate engineer.
@petri heinonen yes he also sells one for the engine to stay upright. The plate is first bolted to the engine and then the gearbox is bolted to the plate with separate bolts
@@TheTinski07 That's great, I send message allready. Thanks again, I hope to have that plate. I have so much else to do with the car, brakes, elecktriks, steering, air ride etc. All helping solution is welcome. Kind regards PETRI HEINONEN
watching this for the umpteenth time. my project is hardly going due to other life stuff. this keeps me inspired!

for the wind, you might want to research upgrading to a bigger anti sway bar. they are available.

They are at a much steeper angle but are still the original CVs and have done 20k miles like this. No problems or signs of wear yet
What gearbox did you use
Great stuff
Does this transmission come with a diff lock or is it possible to put a diff lock in it? Cost?
I am interested in mating it with a TDI motor

@mr grumps wow thanks, I will try to go this route! Are the T4 cv's the same on the diesel and gasoline?
@@TheTinski07 Thanks so much for the help! Love the channel
the gears in the cabin are normal or reversed ciao zanetti italy ravenna
Reversed but very light and easy to get used to

@petri heinonen Your welcome. I do a lot of work on them so any questions feel free to ask. Good luck with your project .
