Engine and tranny question.

[Mrtaco]

Hello fellow Audi friends. I had a question for you guys, can I use an engine that came off an automatic on my manual? I unfortunately snapped my timing belt and rather than fixing the head I rather just replace the engine. Thanks in advance.

you should let someone else chime in and confirm -- but i'm 98% sure its been done plenty [i know the other way around had been done -- swapping auto to manual on the same engine]

6sp Manual or CVT engine will mate to Tiptronic 6 spd
Automatic Tiptronic 6spd will not work in manual 6spd or CVT unless you switch the crankshaft. The crankshaft is different because the manual 6spd needs the pilot bearing. The Tiptronic does not have the provision for it to be seated correctly

But I would be able to transfer the pilot bearing from my engine wouldn't I?

When you transfer the crank over to your new engine you will not need to remove it from your 6spd manual crank
