I have installed a flipped audi gearbox (DUK) into my van for a while, but I still have problems with oil leaking... I took about 4.7 litre oil in it.
Can somebody please help in this, cause I'm affraid to go any longer trips.... My other problem is a little ticking, knocking noise (from the cv joint adaptors?? I think). I hear this sound only at 1-2-3 gear when holding the gas, when I push the gas no noise... Any ideas? I only bought the adaptor beetween the gearbox and the engine from Tim other things are selfmade (CV joint adaptor, gearbox mount, cable shifter, etc). I hope everybody understand my bad english... Thank you guys in advance for your help! Greetings from Hungary!! Edited by zsoltg2014 - 09 Feb 16 at 11:51 |

On mine I've got a long rubber breather pipe from the top of the gearbox through to the back of the rear light which goes into a 1 litre catch can. It doesn't fill up too quickly, maybe needs emptying and the gearbox topping back up every 5000 miles. It's not ideal but works for now.
Clicking could be the CV joints, if they were already worn the CV angle of the flipped box could have finished them off. I replaced all 4 in mine shortly after doing the flipped box.

I'm thinking on a catch tank too for temporarily, but a permanent solution will be the best thing.
The CV joints with the standard gearbox never had noise but if I think good the angle is not the same and therefore now comes out the worn. Thanks for the fast reply! :) |

You need to use photobucket or a similar website for photos and copy the codes across.

I made a breather box / oil separator for mine which is basically a metal box with baffles and metal gauze in it with a pipe at the top going up the rear pillar and venting to atmosphere and a pipe at the bottom draining back into the old breather fitting on the box. If you vent from the filler plug on the side of the box instead it's not as big a problem

It sounds good. So you don't have oil losings? What oil capacity are you using? Do you have pics?
Thanks for your help! Asking from everybody.... Otherwise, what are your experiences by the transmission? How many kilometers you've gone with it? |

Hi, it's a common problem, the vent is directly above the flywheel.
I've tried loads, but just succeeded in pumping oil all over the back of the van! Some have put a pipe from the old breather, now on the bottom of the gearbox, to the breather at the top and then a vent in one of the rear grills. I've used 32mm plumbing bits: (The second one is for the charge cooler). |
