I just 'completed' an A4 to T5 swap. This is the first time I have done any work to a transmission, so bear with me. I have a few questions.

1. When the transmission is engaged, there is a whirrring type of sound. Is this normal?

2. The clutch doesn't engage the transmission to the flywheel until the very top of the petaltravel. Is this normal? It is a brand new Chevy hydraulic setup.

3. The transmission was very hard to install to the bellhousing, could I have warped, dinged, bent something vital. It does have a new throwout bearing but an old, used clutch disk.

4. The transmission slips when put into any gear. I know this isn't normal.

Any one have any ideas on how to properly make this thing run properly?
Thanks.

 

Here is a crappy video of the noise.

If this doesn't help, I'll try again.

 

ok first thing did you use the proper alignment tool. 2nd why would you do all that work and put an old used disk/pressure plate back in? also make sure the system is bled properly any bit of air in the sytem will kill it

 

As far as I can tell, I used the proper alignment tool.
I used a used pessure plate out of ignorance. The flywheel itself is brand new.
I bought a brang new hydralic clutch from Chevy, prebled.
Thanks

 

i would bet the pp/disc set is bad. and prebled usually only means that the master cylinder is bled you still have to bleed air out of the rest of the system

 

I'll try to figure out to bleed the clutch setup.
I have a new clutch on order, it'll get here on Monday. I'm not sure when I'll get to swap out the parts. My next mnth is full of underway time.

 

is that an internal or external slave cyl.? i live in putnam,ct if you need a hand i'll be happy to help. the more minds the better (sometimes)

I'm not sure what internal / external means. The slave cylinder is attached to the outside of the bellhousing.
