turn the tranny upside down...


I know of one guy here in Germany with a Audi V6 TDi and the Audi 6speed
manual tranny.


I am building an adapter at the moment to use my Audi 5speed with my V6 in
my vanagon. An adapter with the bolt pattern of the V6 on one side, and the
bolt pattern of the tranny turned around 180° on the other side.
