Bell housing compatibility

Ok, I am pretty sure we have been over this before, but I can't find the thread.

Will an A4LD bell bolt to an FM132?

The FM132 trans is for a 2wd bolted to a 2.9. And a A4LD is also from a 2.9 provided it too is also from a 2wd. Is that what you're asking?

No, I have an FM132 that I want to use on something other than a 2.9 or 4.0. In particular a 2.3. I know the FM132 bell is wrong, but 2.3s came with A4LDs. I'm hoping I can put the A4/2.3 bell on the front of the FM and have it bolt.

I'll worry about the clutch later.

And there we have it. Guess the 94's M5OD will just have to get rebuilt.


Unless I could convince Jim to live with only 1st and Reverse.
