B6.1.. comments?
Hello everybody,
I was expecting comments on the first pics and information on the B6.1, but nothing yet.. So I'm gonna start the discussion! By looking at the pics it looks like the new transmission is not likely to fit the B6 chassis, and if this is confirmed it's a real shame. I would say that the new gearbox does not use the rear two narrow holes but uses instead the wide ones for the D block. I would hope (and it would make sense) that the front and centre pairs of holes are maintained. The C block is different, and does not use wide mounting holes as in the B6. I am wondering whether I will be able to use the original B6 C block and still fit the new gearbox. If this is not possible.. I will be really disappointed: why calling the car B6.1 if you cannot update the B6 to the new specs? Call it B7 then!!

Its not possible - you will need the full rear end.
Brent Thielke is trying to come up with a way to use the existing b6 chassis by providing a paper template with new drill hole locations. However if you wish to use the new gear box the C block will be needed as will the wishbones due to the chassis technically being shorter - the new wishbones re extends the wheelbase. He has not confirmed it is yet possible - just something he is trying. However estimating the cost of the rear end, it won't be a million miles away from new car territory. |

Assume the b6.1 comes with a gear diff as the pdf on the website has conflicting info

Built my b6.1 over the weekend, everything seems to be a snug fit compared to the b6 much less initial slop
