C5 Audi A6 2.7t Manual 01e Swap
C5 Audi A6 2.7t Manual swap, removed from a low mileage 2004. Everything you need to manual swap your A6, and potentially All road minus a clutch and flywheel.
A C5 Audi A6 2.7t manual 01E swap involves replacing the automatic transmission with a 6-speed manual transmission, which requires specific parts and labor, including a driveshaft spacer, a new flywheel and clutch, and modifications to the shifter and driveshaft. Some automatic components, such as the ECU, will also need to be replaced or flashed to support the manual transmission.
Key components and considerations for a C5 Audi A6 2.7t Manual 01e Swap
-
- Transmission: The 01E 6-speed manual transmission from a B5 S4 or other compatible Audi is the target, but a 0A3 from a B6-B7 S4 can also be used with additional parts and software.
- Driveshaft: A driveshaft spacer is necessary to adjust for the difference in length between the manual and automatic transmissions.
- Clutch and Flywheel: A new flywheel is required, and the bolts securing it must be torqued to the correct specification.
- ECU: The engine control unit (ECU) must be reprogrammed or replaced to match the manual transmission.
- Shifter: A compatible manual shifter and linkage will be needed.
- CV Shafts: The front CV shafts may require modification, and new CV shaft shields are often needed.
- Engine: The engine itself does not need significant internal changes if it is already a 2.7T. However, it is a good time to replace seals and gaskets.
