Why no just take a standard 915-930 tranny and flip it up side down? This should take the hassels out of flipping the ring gear, you would have to come up with pump and a shift linkage though?

With the Audi model 016 gearbox, you will not be able to swap out the right parts from a 951 to get the good ratio's and strengthened parts. The input shaft and first gear are a one piece design, so you're forced to stay with the Audi 1st (3.60:1) which means you don't get the heat treated 951 1st (3.50:1). The 2nd thru 5th ratio's are very close to the same, so no need to swap there. The R&P ratio is where you gain the advantage with the taller geared 951. Though un-substantiated, apparently the differential carrier bearings are larger on the 951 than on the Audi, so they will not swap.......I recalll reading that the 951 racers swap out the R&P for a NA 944 R&P to get a lower ratio, so perhaps there's a chance for interchangeability (Any 951 experts or racers out there that can verify this?). For the cost, I would think it easiest to simply stay with the Audi 016, though the net 5th gear ratio is about the same a a stock 901. Audi 016 model 3U is the only one that has a taller 5th, but was only available in Europe. Good luck.
