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.

I had someone loan me a 915 to take dimensions from. I thought the readers might want to see pictures of a 915 next to an Audi 5000.

The transmission that is closest is the Audi 5000.
