How tough would it be to find a quatro trans for it?
Per cylinder it is, but with more displacement, you do better at low RPMs, and there is no balance shaft.

That has nothing to do with the engine bolting to the trany. I would be nice if they made an adapter kit so we could easily build a quantum syncro wagon with a 1.6 TD. the 86-89 quattro trannies had both patterns i do believe..Audi TD5 engines are not hard to find, and are tougher than a 1.6...86-89 are not dual bolt pattern...If that were the case I would have already put my AHU into my 87 4000CS quattro....And if Audi TD5's aren't hard to find, how come I can't seem to find a head for mine?

LOL.

i know some of the Audi trannies were bisexual, just dont remember what ones..
Hi bbob203. It appears we are on the same search. I will look at the Quantum Syncro tomorrow, heavy rain and snow permitting, to determine if I will purchase the vehicle. I'm doing research on the Audi 2.0 Turbodiesel in case I purchase the car so I can make the swap.
