| O1E “16” model
6sp Audi-Getrag shown (AAZ/3V -5spd upgradeable to 6sp at rear box cover)
 The
Audi suffix 016 transaxle is the preferred transaxle for use in the GT40
replicas. The 016 boxes have the selector shaft on the left hand side,
all other boxes have the shaft in line out of the back of the box.. The
CV joints used on most (UK) GT40 replicas are from the Ford Granada and
the output shafts on the Audi type 013 transaxle have mountings to suit.
The Audi type 016 has output flanges to suit similar but slightly larger
diameter CV joints which could be adapted for use with the smaller CV's
if necessary or better still to use as standard with larger diameter drive
shafts. Note that Audi 200 were later versions of this car and the 9000
range were again the same but the American version of the car.
The standard Ford V6 flywheel commonly used on
GT40 replicas will not fit into the bell housing on this transaxle. A
special flywheel or extra thick adaptor plate will have to be used. The
standard Audi flywheel would have too many fixing holes making the mounting
unsafe if modified for use with the Ford V8.
