Default 01 a6 trans - work in 01 allroad???

Does anyone know if a tranny out of a 01 S4 or A6 2.7t will work in an 01 allroad ??
The reverse is slipping in the allroad.

Thanks

Default I highly doubt it

AFAIK the gearing is diffeerent (more tightly spaced in the AR) and the final drive is 4:38 vs. 4:11 in the A6 (the AR wheels are of a larger DIA).

For example the 4th in my wife's AR is approx where the 3rd is in my own S6. The trannies are very similar dimensionally (01E in mine).

Default Not at all, aside from ratio differences..

electronics are different too. The allroad trans is a 5hp19, and the 4.2 is a 5hp24...

Default AudisAPenty is correct. The allroad that its own trans and is not currently shared with any other

car.

you are better off doing a rebuild. That trans has some of the best options out there

Default Here's the REAL answer - Allroad w/2.7t engine uses same ZF tip tranny as A6 and A4 w/V6s...

check out the link from ZF's website - the 01 allroad uses the 5HP19FLA tranny, same as the A6 w/ 2.7t, 2.8, and 3.0 V-6s and the A4 w/ 2.8 and 3.0 V-6 (all are quattro). The A6 4.2 uses the 5HP24A (which is also shared with the S4 2.7t and the A8 w/4.2).<ul><li><a href="http://www.zf-group.com/pdf/AppChartpasscartrans.pdf">http://www.zf-group.com/pdf/AppChartpasscartrans.pdf</a</li></ul>

Default They are the same model of transmission however

The final drive, valve body, and torque converter are different, as is control units. Simply swapping in another 5HP19 from a passat or A6 will probably yield result you don't want. If your having trans problems, best to get a used on with the same code, or have yours repaired.

Default The S4 uses a 5HP19..

Not sure who is wrong, but replacement parts for the S4 tiptronic are 5HP19. I guess it's a typo in the ZF literature.

Default That does sound right, actually. Hope my answer didn't come across as being a *****, as it's hard

to convey emotion via typing. Thanks for correcting this, and I am no expert, just reading from the literature. Someone had mentioned the 01E trans and that's a manual so I was also a bit confused but figured that he would/should ask a ZF Distributor/Rebuilder if he was at all serious...
