I could be all wrong here, but I seem to recall the 1986 5000 2wd turbo
automatic as one possibility.  I think they have extra planetary gears and
more clutch packs.

Can anyone of you give me the code year model etc of an Audi Auto Trans
that I want to use for a bullet proof rebuild?  I have an 86 AW with an 07
subi 2.5 and a peloquin final drive.  After the 1st rebuild and about 30K
miles I have been through 2 rebuilds the last lasting not even 1000k  miles.
I
want the strongest turbo audi auto Trans to use in conjunction  with a
couple cores and a rebuild kit with whatever strong parts I can get to  make
a
Trans that will hold up to daily driving camping and all the other cool
things we do with our cool rigs.

All suggestions would be appreciated and helpful.  I really love my  van
and in no way want to replace it with a sprinter. (-: I would only do that
if
I had no choice.
