Default is this the set-up you need for mating an S4 6 speed to the 1.8t block?

I have an S4 trans and want to mount it up to my 1.8t when time allows, but have not figured out the clutch thing yet. any advise?

Use a flywheel/clutch for the 1.8t.

Default Like Yipper said

use a flywheel/clutch setup made for the 1.8t since they are bolted to the engine not to the trans. The input shaft for the trans just goes into the spline on the clutch disk.

Default Putting a 6 speed S4 trans onto a 1.8t block has been done by many people

and you just use a 1.8T clutch.


BTW I hope you have more then just the 6 speed trans out of the S4 to put that into your A4 1.8t.

Did you get the S4 sub frame or make a custom driverside trans bracket?

Default right, I'm thinking that the sub-frame would be a little better/easier? any suggestions on

where to find one?

Default Might have to ask the guys that have done it

problem you might run into is that the S4 sub frame might not have the same locations for the motor mount brackets.
