hello guys
I am looking for a shorter/est ring and pinion to put in a 924S gbox. I was told on another forum that possibly the one from an audi 5000 diesel 79 to 81 MY can be used anyone tried this ?

The 924S is the same as the later 944. You can get a 4.11:1 R&P for it in lieu of the 3.89:1. It is an Audi part and very very hard to find. It is an Audi 016 transmission.

The other option, and probably much better in terms of performance, is to go with shorter 3-5th gears. Albins in Australia makes them, but they only fit the 944S2 or 951 transmissions, not the 944NA.

thanks for your response.
Which audi gearbox had this 4.11 ?
Anyone ?

Which car is this in? I thought you had a 951? If you do and you want to shorten the longish final drive in that gearbox, put in one from an S2. Brings it down approx. 15% across the whole set. Livens things up considerably.

Hello Patrick,

thats correct. Good memory
I have a 1991 951S, but I bought a 924S for track days and hillclimbs or so...
How's your car ?
Looks stunning; seen some pics in another thread somewhere and I luvit

In the U.S it's the Audi 5000 S gearbox that has the 4.11 final drive, you can find them here for $3-$400

what year is that ? 79 to 82 or the later 83 on ?
Or both ?

BUMP !!!

Anyone with info on what other gearbox is good to buy that I can take the ring and pinion from ?

Audi 5000 here IIRC is Audi 80/100 in Europe.

I think one of these gearboxes would be cool to have, but the highway RPMs would be nuts!

stv951

Thanx, but which Audi 5000 ? Which year or better do you have the gearbox type ?


I have found many cars breaking for parts but dont know if the gearbox has the correct ring and pinion.

PS. this is for a racecar, so I dont care about cruising RPM
