Thread: How to: RS6 6 speed swap guide

Who else is having this issue? Any B13s having this issue or just B14? I haven't seen any other threads/posts regarding this issue.

yeah this is the first ive heard of it

You could strap it onto a dyno and row though the gears and see how much movement your getting.

Disregard my comment. I thought I saw someone post of this same issue, but I was wrong. Looks like @1fastser is the only reported occurrence.

I confirmed this. The front poly mount is totally melted due to how close it is to the custom manifold. I plan on swapping in my JWT dogbone (when I locate it! ) with some added heat wrap protection. I don't believe a poly mount will work w/o melting in the dogbone. Hopefully, the JWT rubber has a much higher melting point ...anybody know those melting points - poly v. solid rubber?

I may be forced to run a solid dogbone vibrator...can also get the manifold/dp swain coated in some white lightening which I was debating doing on this car too anyways.

The rear mount looks fine however the slop from the front dogbone AND a noticeable amount from the bushings in the crossmember, I was able to move the engine more than an inch! Glad I bought the aluminum/delrin crossmember bushing combo from Charlie (UNISA JECS)...will also help.

Yeah, definitely need a mount. You can get something like I got cheap from ebay. Works great, cheap, and as solid as your going to get. My motor doesnt go anywhere as you can see in the dyno vids.

After swapping all of the gears in, getting all of the check balls and plugs in the bell housing, how easily should I be able to to move the shift forks? It was fairly easy to switch gears before I put in the 14mm plug, spring, long check ball tube and check ball, now it takes a good amount of force. Just not sure if I that's normal .

EDIT: Put it all together and was able to shift it fairly easily with the shift forks, thus I think all is well.

I tried searching but where is the write up on what size bolts to purchase from Allen's fasteners? I can't seem to find it anymore ??? Thanks

Anyone ever had an issue with clutch clearances with a ka24de act clutch and rs6?
